Clashes and Arrests after Dutch School School Student Strikes.
Nov 26 2007 21:29
There were walk outs in at least 15 cities and there were a number of incidents, with 20 teenagers arrested. In Middelburg 500 pupils occupied a crossroads, after which they clashed with police with batons.
Word about the demonstrations - against the official 1,040 hours of lessons a year - was spread using MSN and email.
In Amsterdam over a thousand pupils from most of the city centre schools gathered on the Museumplein. News agency ANP said several cars were damaged. Giant chess pieces from the Max Euweplein were thrown at trams and into shops.
Three pupils were arrested in Raamsdonksveer in Noord-Brabant for vandalising a bus. In Eindhoven there were at least two arrests for throwing eggs and fireworks and in Purmerend around 200 pupils blocked roads and threw eggs at police. And in Roosendaal, pupils went on the rampage in the local council offices.
