Demonstrators have taken over university buildings in the Dutch cities of Amsterdam, Groningen and Eindhoven, slamming Israel’s war in Gaza, the Dutch protest group behind the action says in a statement.
A spokesperson for the University of Amsterdam (UvA) confirmed the incident, Al Jazeera reported.
The Eindhoven University of Technology confirmed that there were “dozens of students peacefully protesting outside next to ten to 15 tents”.
Students in the Netherlands have been protesting against Israel’s war on Gaza since last Monday and Dutch riot police had previously clashed with protesters at the University of Amsterdam.
Students in the United States and Europe have been holding peaceful demonstrations calling for an immediate permanent ceasefire and for schools to cut financial ties with companies they say are profiting from the oppression of Palestinians.
