Several detained after joining pro-Palestinian protest in Amsterdam despite ban
Police have detained several people for taking part in a demonstration in central Amsterdam that had been banned following violence targeting fans of an Israeli football club, a local broadcaster has reported.
Amsterdam mayor Femke Halsema banned all demonstrations over the weekend in the aftermath of the grim scenes of youths on scooters and on foot attacking Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters on Thursday and Friday in what was widely condemned as a violent outburst of antisemitism in the Dutch capital.
