[Netherlands] Protests: Peaceful protest

On 17 April 2025, in the afternoon, at the call of pro-Palestinian activists, between 100 to 150 people, including students, gathered at the Roeterseiland campus of the University of Amsterdam (UvA) in Amsterdam (Noord-Holland), marching past several UvA locations and sitting on the tram tracks at the intersection of Prins Hendrikkade and Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, blocking tram traffic, to show solidarity with Palestinian prisoners, to protest the university's ties with Israeli institutions and what they call police violence during the Maagdenhuis occupation three days earlier. The demonstrators chanted slogans like 'cut the ties' and 'hands off from students now'.
