Our reporter on the protest against Reuzegom ruling in the Netherlands: “Elitist student associations are permeated with racism” | Abroad

“Something happened on the other side, and it affected us.” With those words, organizer Jerry Afriyie (42) started the protest in The Hague. About a hundred demonstrators gathered this afternoon to express their discontent against the Reuzegom ruling and against institutional racism. Especially students, including a former shaft tamer, took the floor. “Why do students have to undergo humiliations in order to ‘belong’ to a ‘club’? Abolish that,” it sounded forcefully.
