It is noted that a group of demonstrators gathered on the square at about 18:00 local time (20:00 Moscow time). The police arrived at the scene and several times asked the protesters to leave the city center due to the ban on demonstrations imposed earlier by the Amsterdam authorities. Nevertheless, more than 200 people did not obey the demands of law enforcement officers and remained on Dam Square.
According to the police of the kingdom, 265 people were detained for violating the ban on holding protests. Eight more activists were charged for "carrying objects, the use of which could potentially lead to a violation of public order or bodily injury." In addition, four demonstrators were detained for the use of violence, vandalism, hooliganism and disobeying police requirements, reports tass.ru.
