The Public Prosecution Service wants to impose severe sentences on suspects accused of throwing heavy fireworks at riot police during riots surrounding the arrival of an asylum seekers' center in Doetinchem. A first suspect was sentenced to eight months in prison on Wednesday, three months of which were suspended. "The police were attacked, and council members felt intimidated," the prosecutor told the Zutphen court.
