The Dutch Ministry of Justice said more than 6,800 people have been placed in custody since the start of a lycée student protest movement in mid-September, according to AFP figures cited in Le HuffPost. The ministry’s statement, dated Friday 9 October, reports that 86% of those detained were minors. The article describes the number as an unprecedented record for the mobilisation. Alongside the custody figures, the case has also included injuries and official scrutiny. The source refers to four adolescents reported to have suffered serious injuries, and it notes the opening of 24 investigations by the IGPN. The article also presents claims and criticism from lawyers representing detained students. They allege that some custody procedures were carried out in order to “terrorise”, and describe alleged humiliation during detention. One lawyer says an adolescent was allegedly taken barefoot to a police station, despite reportedly asking officers to retrieve her shoes. Another legal representative alleges students were made to “crawl” to collect belongings, and also claims alleged racist insults and psychological violence. As of the reported stage, the source states that out of nearly 7,000 arrests, 2,376 people were subject to prosecutions, and 65% were allegedly taken before a judge. The Chancellerie (justice ministry) also reported that 21 remand orders were made, affecting 15 adults and 6 minors. The Dutch Interior minister is quoted in the source explaining arrests as a response to disruptions, including alleged property damage, public disorder and violence, saying interventions by police forces led to arrests. The article also includes statements from experts who argue that large numbers of arrests can function as a form of police violence, describing detention as a way to neutralise participants for one or two days and discourage return to protests. It also references criticism about crowd-management doctrine, including the use of multiple policing tools. No outcome is provided in the source regarding individual cases, and arrest or custody does not mean guilt.
