Dutch police are investigating alleged police brutality during and after a banned pro-Palestinian protest in Amsterdam, where 281 demonstrators were detained. Social media footage showed riot police shouting at protesters and hitting them with batons. The protest took place despite a ban and an exemption was granted for a protest at a different location. The investigation is looking into the actions of the riot police in the specific video footage circulating on social media. The protest occurred in the context of increased tensions and violence in Europe following the Israel-Hamas war.
