(NL Times) A demonstration by controversial anti-Islam organization Pegida near a mosque in Eindhoven turned more sinister on Sunday, with ten counter-protestors taken into custody. Four police officers suffered minor injuries in confrontations down the road from the Al-Fourqaan Mosque.
The ten suspects were aged 14 to 32, police said, and included seven residents of Eindhoven, one from Geldrop, and two from Belgium. Seven people were still in custody Monday accused of violence against police. Two of three underage boys were released because of insufficient evidence, while a 14-year-old boy was expected to be questioned on Monday for insulting police.
“A group of several hundred people who turned against the demonstration, mostly young people, caused disturbances from 7 p.m. by throwing stones and other objects,” police said in a statement.
