Uprising in border prison Rotterdam
Wanneer: 10/02/2023 - 22:55
Today we heard through different channels about an uprising at Detention Center Rotterdam Airport.
PIC: DC Rotterdam during demo: prisoner holds a sign saying: Freedom? Not in The Netherlands
The last few days there has been a lot of 'disciplinary repression' against the imprisoned refugees at the center. This probably has to do with an escape attempt last Sunday.

This article says that two men managed to break a window and escaped the classic way: by sheets knotted together. They were apprehended in the yard though and put in isolation.
Today the imprisioned refugees must have had enough of the repression. As far as we know some or more of them have refused to go back to their cells at the end of the afternoon. Another source later told that 'the situation has been made calm'. This suggests that the riot police of the prison (interne bijstandsteam) has intervened. What exactly happened when they did, is not known yet.
When more information comes out, we will add it to this message.
