Police break up illegal demo in Amsterdam,
Apeldoorn protest ends peacefully
January 31,
2021
Riot police
cleared an illegal demonstration from Amsterdam’s Museumplein on Sunday, but
there was no repeat of the violence of the previous two weekends. The
demonstration, for the third Sunday in a row, was called by people opposed to
the coronavirus measures and the curfew, but had been banned by city officials.
Some 600 people had gathered for the protest, which was broken up by police at
around 4pm. Earlier in the afternoon, police had arrested 30 people who had
gathered on the nearby Valeriusplein on the ground that they posed ‘a risk to
public order.’ In Apeldoorn, a demonstration by several hundred people ended
peacefully when police ordered them to go home. There were four arrests in
Apeldoorn, three for carrying offensive weapons.
