Reuters \u2013 Nov 22, 2021<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Riots broke out in cities across the Netherlands for a third night in a row on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Police mounted on horseback clashed with mobs of angry protesters who set fires and threw rocks in response to the country\u2019s latest COVID-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n

Unrest began earlier in the weekend in Rotterdam to protest government plans to create a national corona pass for people who\u2019ve either been vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Police detained over 60 people in three provinces, and five officers were injured on Saturday according to authorities.<\/p>\n

In Rotterdam, where police opened fire on a crowd that had swelled to hundreds, the city’s mayor said the scene had turned into “an orgy of violence.”<\/p>\n

Four people believed to have been hit by police bullets remained in the hospital on Sunday, a statement by the authorities said.<\/p>\n

The country reimposed lockdown measures last weekend in an effort to slow a resurgence of the virus.<\/p>\n

Daily infections remain at their highest levels since the start of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Some protesters were also angered by a firework ban on New Year\u2019s Eve to avoid added pressure on hospitals already forced to scale back care due to a surge in COVID patients.<\/p>\n
