Covid: Dutch curfew riots rage for third night – By BBC News Staff (BBC) / January 26 2021
Protesters defying a curfew in the Netherlands have clashed with riot police in a third night of unrest.
More than 180 people were arrested on Monday in several cities. In Rotterdam, police fired a warning shot and tear gas, after an emergency order issued by the mayor failed to move demonstrators.
Riots started at the weekend as protesters kicked back against newly imposed coronavirus restrictions.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte has condemned what he called “criminal violence”.
Police chief Henk van Essen said the riots no longer had “anything to do with the basic right to demonstrate”.
