(Dutch News) A meeting for parents of pupils at the Islamic high school Cornelius Haga Lyceum in Amsterdam, which is at the centre of alleged links to terrorism, was cancelled on Tuesday evening after too many people turned up.
The city had estimated a maximum 250 people would come to the meeting but the total was much higher.
Mayor Femke Halsema, who had convened the meeting, said she had been surprised by the turn-out. “We had not counted on people coming from different cities. It’s a shame,” she told broadcaster NOS.
The mayor declined to comment further on security service claims that members of the school board had terrorist links.
