Syrian Refugee Says Dutch Police Assaulted Her While She Was Nine Months Pregnant
A video circulating widely on Dutch media and social platforms in recent days has ignited public outrage after appearing to show Dutch police violently assaulting a woman who was nine months pregnant. The footage prompted an immediate response from Dutch police, who confirmed that an investigation had been opened into the circumstances surrounding the incident. Syria TV contacted the woman and the man seen in the video to clarify what happened. …
While the (international) outcry over the heavy-handed police intervention at the Zeist asylum seekers' center continues to mount, bit by bit more is becoming known about the man who was arrested for threats and vandalism. It turns out Wesam Mekdad was arrested in Greece for drug trafficking.
Minister of Justice David van Weel (VVD) understands that the images showing police officers using force against a pregnant woman in an asylum seekers' center in Zeist late last week have caused a great deal of outrage. "But they never do that without reason, and an investigation is always conducted," says Van Weel regarding the violence.
