(NL Times) A 38-year-old woman was arrested in Arnhem on Saturday because she announced that she wanted to tear up a Quran. The woman from Vorden in Gelderland was released after a short time. However, she was banned from the building, as was Pegida leader Edwin Wagensveld, who received a six-month ban from the mayor of Arnhem last Thursday. In response to his announcement that he wanted to burn another copy of the Quran on Jansplein in the city, a large police force was on the scene. In the end, Wagensveld decided not to come, NU.nl reported.
Mayor Ahmed Marcouch feared a repeat of the events of January when a similar action by Wagensveld led to serious riots.
