(NL Times) The brawl that took place at the RAI convention center in Amsterdam on Sunday evening involved hundreds of people arguing over the counting of votes for the Turkish election. Two people were left injured as a result of the fighting. Their condition was not released.
The RAI was one of several polling places located in the Netherlands where people with the right to vote in the election could cast a ballot from the Netherlands. Police said on Monday that they were forced to step in on the last day of voting “when the organization was no longer in control of the situation, which disrupted public order.”
It happened at about 9 p.m. when ballots were being counted. “The situation had gotten so out of hand that the organization responsible for the safe conduct of the elections needed help from the police,” Dutch authorities said.
