Seeing reports of people getting beaten up and even thrown in canals by the police. Hundreds of arrests. Police apparently bussed arrested people off to remote parking lots and beat them up without arresting them. We can’t get in contact with some comrades who were involved. Shit’s really scary.

Background: Protests have been going on since fascist Israeli football hooligans rioted in the city center last week. Local folks came out in the street and soundly kicked their asses. Both the national government (fascist) and the city government (GreenLeft party, lmao) have fully sided with foreign fascist mobs over their own citizens. They’ve declared a state of emergency in Amsterdam and heavily restricted protests.

Europe’s slow march towards fascism is becoming more of a sprint.
