Dutch Police Arrest Dozens At Virus Protest Clashes

A woman holding flowers in her hands shout slogans as she stands in front of police officers during a demonstration to protest against the measures adopted by the Dutch government to fight against the spread of the COVID-19 , on June 21, 2020 in Malieveld, a large grass field in the city centre of The Hague.

Hundreds of people gathered in the city centre, many carrying placards or holding hands, to demonstrate against measures including the 1.5 metre social distancing rule. Acting mayor Johan Remkes had initially barred the protest but later agreed to a time-limited demonstration. Police said the protest was peaceful until a group of football fans clashed with riot police at the nearby Central Station, throwing stones and bottles.“The remaining demonstrators refused to leave and have been detained under public demonstration legislation,” The Hague police said in a tweet.The Netherlands has been commended for its “intelligent lockdown” approach, which was less strict than some other European countries, with no full stay-at-home orders.

Restaurants, cinemas, cafes, museums and terraces were all authorised to open on June 1, but with social distancing rules in place and establishments limited to a maximum of 30 customers.
