[LIVE] Violent eviction of pro-Palestinian occupation at UvA Roeterseiland - University Of Amsterdam
Wanneer: 07/05/2024 - 02:26
Riot police are now inside the pro-Palestinian tent camp at the University Of Amsterdam. (Roeterseiland) Using a large shovel, the cops managed to break down one of the barricades. (Nieuwe Prinsengracht) Activists lying in tents are forcibly taken out. Attempts are being made to evict the protesters, but they do not seem to be easily coerced into doing so and so far are resisting peacefully.
Amsterdam news channel At5 is streaming live via Youtube. (No live broadcast on their regular TV channel) Remarkable amount of far-right reactions in the live chat.

People were beaten with truncheons when police broke through barricades. People sitting on the bridges were beaten as they sat. It seems people from support group have also been arrested. A decent group of people in the camp have been arrested together, but they are still together in the camp. It also seems that the police used some kind of chemical foam while entering the camp.
120 arrested volgens AT5
