Netherlands police clash with rioters in Eindhoven over coronavirus lockdown measures
Rioters set fires in the centre of the southern Dutch city of Eindhoven and pelted police with rocks at a banned demonstration against coronavirus lockdown measures, while officers responded with tear gas and water cannons, arresting at least 30 people.
Key points:
- The Dutch Government has imposed a tough lockdown since early December to tackle the spread of the new COVID-19 strain
- It is the worst violence to hit the Netherlands since the pandemic began
- Dutch police said they fined 3,600 people nationwide for breaching the curfew overnight Saturday
Police in the capital of Amsterdam also used a water cannon to disperse an outlawed anti-lockdown demonstration on a major square ringed by museums.
