The anti-Islam organization Pegida arranged a demonstration in
Amsterdam on Saturday afternoon, coordinated with demonstrations in London,
Dublin and Prague on the same day.
Left-wing protesters mounted a counter-demonstration. Some of them tried to force their way into
the Pegida ranks. Police arrested 20
people, most of whom from among the counter-protesters. They were released the next day. The Pegida demonstration had to be relocated
from its original site due to a suspicious explosive device. Police believe the device was planted by counter-protesters. Police eventually called a halt to the Pegida
demonstration.
