2015-10-11 |
![]() A group of about 20 men hurled fireworks and eggs at the temporary refuge in a sports centre in the city of Woerden, near Utrecht, late on Friday. City mayor Victor Molkenboer said the incident had "an enormous impact" on the refugees. "It recalled traumatic experiences for them," he told a news conference. Police said on Saturday they had locked away ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... and charged 11 suspects aged between 19 and 30 over the attack, in which no injuries were reported. Rutte was due to visit the shelter, which is home to nearly 150 refugees and one of more than a hundred makeshift refuges set up in the Netherlands in recent weeks. |
