Dutch authorities are investigating allegations of police violence against pro-Palestinian protesters following a banned rally in Amsterdam, where footage showed police striking released detainees.
Amsterdam police acknowledged the online footage revealing officers in riot gear hitting protesters after they had been detained, stating that such images are disturbing and will be evaluated.
The police, under expanded stop-and-search powers, have detained numerous demonstrators following a series of violent incidents, indicating heightened security measures in response to recent unrest.
Both Israeli and Dutch politicians condemned recent incidents as antisemitic, linking them to historical events such as the persecution of Jews during World War II.
