Tensions high after nights of COVID lockdown riots in Netherlands
By: DW
The situation across the Netherlands remained tense but without major unrest on Tuesday night after three nights of violence in protest against the government s implementation of tough restrictions to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
Police took to the streets of towns and cities across the country to prevent violent rioting, while businesses closed early and shops boarded up.
On Tuesday when the 9 p.m. curfew went into effect, rowdy crowds of youths gathered in Amsterdam and Hilversum, but were broken up without incident. In Rotterdam, 33 people were detained for violating social distancing regulations and vandalism.
