A Netherlands police thug has been caught on camera viciously throwing a visibly pregnant Palestinian asylum-seeker backwards to the floor in an unprovoked attack. Several other officers stood by and did nothing to prevent the attack or to restrain the thug afterward. The attack was perpetrated on 29 May 2026 in an asylum centre in Zeist, near Amsterdam. It is yet another example of European state brutality toward refugees and and anti-genocide activists:

Netherlands — Early birth

The video quickly went viral. The woman had approached police to ask to be allowed to remain with her husband during detention. She showed no sign of any aggression, yet Netherlands police tried to claim they were dealing with a knife attack. Her husband was badly beaten as he tried to defend his wife.

The violence triggered the victim’s labour and she gave birth to a baby girl, who is reported to be stable. Netherlands authorities claim to be investigating the attack.
