Police scuffle with pro-Palestine protesters at Amsterdam university
Police moved in to end a pro-Palestine protest at the University of Amsterdam on Monday after protesters occupied university buildings in various Dutch cities to condemn Israel's war in Gaza.
Earlier on Monday, a Dutch protest group said it had occupied university buildings in the Dutch cities of Amsterdam, Groningen and Eindhoven.
The group told Reuters via email that the occupations would continue until the police broke them up and that the protesters would keep returning until the university meets their demands "for transparency (as well as) boycotting and divesting from Israeli institutions."
Students in the Netherlands have been protesting against Israel's war in Gaza since last week, and Dutch riot police had previously clashed with protesters at the University of Amsterdam.
Students in the United States and Europe have been holding mostly peaceful demonstrations, calling for an immediate permanent ceasefire and for schools to cut financial ties with companies they say are profiting from the oppression of Palestinians.
