[Netherlands] Protests: Peaceful protest

On 17 April 2025, in the morning, at the call of XR, several dozen people chained themselves to the gate of the De Heus chicken feed factory on the Maasdijk in Ravenstein (Noord-Brabant), blocking truck access and chanting slogans to protest the company's role in the nitrogen crisis, global deforestation, and alleged human rights violations. While police were present and employees were allowed in, the demonstrators aimed to halt operations. No arrests were reported.
