Two arrests after pro-Palestinian sit-in in Groningen

In the aftermath of the pro-Palestinian sit-in at the Groningen train station on Thursday evening, two people were arrested for insulting civil servants in office. The police report this.

There were sit-ins in several Dutch cities on Thursday evening “against the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine”. The activists demand, among other things, that the Dutch government call for a permanent ceasefire and unconditional humanitarian access for the population in Gaza.

According to the organization, the sit-ins were peaceful in most cities. A spokeswoman said that the organization always takes disruption to the demonstrations into account. According to her, this is often called for at X.
