At least 150 protesters arrested at demonstration against data center in Amsterdam

During a protest against a Microsoft datacenter in Amsterdam-West, police detained approximately 150 to 200 individuals for trespassing. The Fossielvrij group organized the demonstration against gas-powered datacenters. Tensions escalated when another group of activists breached the site’s fences, leading to confrontations with police. Some protesters were found with tools and climbing gear, prompting police intervention. Eventually, hundreds of activists entered the construction site, causing damage and theft. The police cleared the area, and the detained individuals were taken to a holding facility, with a decision pending on their detention status.
