Utrecht, November 14
Protests broke out in the Dutch city on Saturday night as a new coronavirus lockdown imposed amid soaring infections forced bars and restaurants to close at 8 pm.
Dutch broadcaster NOS reported that hundreds of young people gathered in a central square in Leeuwarden, 140 km north of Amsterdam. Video showed them setting off fireworks and holding flares billowing smoke. NOS reported that riot police later moved in to push the protesters off the square.
