Anti-immigration protesters in The Hague have clashed violently with police, with a police car being set ablaze at one point. The demonstration, initially peaceful at the Malieveld, spiralled out of control when a faction of the crowd stormed the A12 highway, leading to fierce confrontations.
Officers were pelted with stones and bottles, forcing them to deploy tear gas and water cannons to restore order. The charred remains of the police vehicle, a stark symbol of the escalating tensions, were left smouldering as authorities scrambled to contain the situation. The incident has reignited debates over immigration policies and the management of public dissent in the Netherlands.
