Dutch police end pro-Palestine campus protest in Amsterdam, arrest over 100 people

Dutch riot police ended a pro-Palestine protest at the University of Amsterdam early on Tuesday, arresting some 125 people in what authorities say were sometimes violent clashes.

Police say protesters used violence at the site, and that the dismantling of the protest was "necessary to restore order".

"We see the footage on social media," they said. "We understand that those images may appear as intense."

Local media reported that protesters shot fireworks at police officers, but no injuries were reported on either side as of yet.

"All is now quiet ... police stay in the vicinity of the Roeterseiland campus," the police added.
