In the process, officers twisted his wrist, he says. \u201cThen we were not taken out through the front door, but through the basement. I found that very strange.\u201d He was afraid that the officers would carry him off out of sight of bystanders, so that they could no longer keep an eye on exactly what was happening.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because the arrestees were taken away through different corridors in the basement of the Erasmus building, it was impossible for a legal observer and journalists present to observe all the arrests. \u201cIn the basement, the officers said they were going to hurt me very badly if I did not cooperate. One officer tried to grab my thumb. I tried to keep the thumb in my fist so he couldn\u2019t grab it. You might call that resisting, but I absolutely did not resist the arrest.\u201d<\/p>\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/featured-text\" class=\"md:mt-6 p-4 md:p-6 lg:p-8 bg-sand-300 theme-sand:bg-white theme-violet:bg-white theme-mocha:bg-white wysiwyg *:last:mb-0!\" >\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.6em;font-weight: 900;line-height: 1.23;font-family: Intro\">Passive resistance <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Officers are not allowed to use force as long as an arrestee does not actively resist. An arrestee does not have to actively cooperate with his arrest. A well-known tactic of protesters is to remain \u2018floppy\u2019 during their arrest, to make it as difficult as possible for officers to take them away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amnesty International does not want to pass judgment on individual cases, but according to the human rights organisation, police violence can be justified if someone actively resists arrest. &#8220;But only if the force does not go beyond what is necessary and proportionate&#8221;, writes an Amnesty spokesperson. &#8220;The police have an obligation to de-escalate and, moreover, must give warning before resorting to force. Police violence must always serve a lawful purpose. Violence to force a confession or to &#8216;teach a lesson&#8217; to an arrestee is prohibited.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrist clamp<\/h2><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Alice\u2019, also a EUR student, says she still could not use the computer mouse a few days after the arrest, so much pain was in her wrist. Officers used a wrist clamp during her arrest, which the police themselves consider violence. This puts the arrestee\u2019s full weight on the wrists when being dragged away, which can break the wrist if she resists. \u201cI remained floppy all the time, and I think they found that very irritating. They kept giving me kicks with their knees in my side and on my hip, very unnecessarily.\u201d Alice was then searched by three men. \u201cOnly halfway through they asked a female colleague to join them.\u201d Detainees should be searched by someone of the same sex, as far as possible. \u201cThey also have to search between your legs, and instead of pushing the legs apart by hand, they kicked my shins hard\u201d, says Alice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Elli\u2019, a fourth EUR student, had a similar experience to Alice. She was also carried off with the wrist clamp. \u201cAnd when the officers dragged me down the corridor by my hands, they overstretched my arms. While I was already in a lot of pain in my wrist.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thrown against the wall<\/h2><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another EUR student who calls herself Juno says she was hit on her nose and on her neck when officers tried to pull the group apart, probably by body parts of protesters sitting next to her. While being searched in the corridor, out of sight of observers, she was hit on her back by an officer, she claims.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">A 17-year-old schoolgirl named \u2018Brynn\u2019 was also arrested. She had herself dragged down the stairs as well, which badly hurt her knees, she says. \u201cI didn\u2019t know they were going to search me, but they suddenly threw me against a wall\u201d, she says. It all happened so fast that Brynn did not know by whom she was searched and whether an observer could be watching. Later, footage taken showed that two men and a woman were involved. Photos showed that Brynn\u2019s legs were covered in bruises.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">EM was able to verify parts of the protesters\u2019 statements using own observation, a city councillor present as a legal observer, photographs and video footage. In the case of the violent incidents, it was largely impossible to verify because those took place outside the field of vision of journalists and the councillor present.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#039;Deliberate choice&#039;<\/h2>\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/posts-list\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"sr-only\">Een lijst met artikelen<\/h2>\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"space-y-6 md:space-y-8\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"grid items-strecth grid-cols-1 gap-2 md:gap-4 lg:gap-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"@container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div data-component=\"teaser-post-small\" class=\"block-theme-sand  relative flex h-full bg-sand-300\n\tblock-theme-violet:bg-white block-theme-violet:text-purple block-theme-mocha:bg-sand-500 block-theme-mocha:text-brown\n\tblock-theme-sand:bg-sand-300 block-theme-sand:text-neutral-900\n\tblock-theme-violet:outline-purple-100 block-theme-violet:outline-1 block-theme-violet:outline-t-0\n\ttheme-mocha:bg-white! theme-violet:bg-white! theme-sand:bg-white!\n\tflex-row gap-4 @md:gap-8 p-4 @md:p-6\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image:w-full image:aspect-square image:object-cover shrink-0 size-17.5 @sm:size-21.25 @md:size-30 @lg:size-40\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"307\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/06\/01154042\/OccupyEUR-9.5.2023_11_Esther-Dijkstra-scaled-2.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139331\" class=\"attachment-square_lg size-square_lg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/06\/01154042\/OccupyEUR-9.5.2023_11_Esther-Dijkstra-scaled-2.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139331 2560w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/06\/01154042\/OccupyEUR-9.5.2023_11_Esther-Dijkstra-scaled-2-875x583.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139331 875w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/06\/01154042\/OccupyEUR-9.5.2023_11_Esther-Dijkstra-scaled-2-1600x1067.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139331 1600w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/06\/01154042\/OccupyEUR-9.5.2023_11_Esther-Dijkstra-scaled-2-300x200.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139331 300w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/06\/01154042\/OccupyEUR-9.5.2023_11_Esther-Dijkstra-scaled-2-1280x854.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139331 1280w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/06\/01154042\/OccupyEUR-9.5.2023_11_Esther-Dijkstra-scaled-2-1536x1024.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139331 1536w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/06\/01154042\/OccupyEUR-9.5.2023_11_Esther-Dijkstra-scaled-2-2048x1366.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139331 2048w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/06\/01154042\/OccupyEUR-9.5.2023_11_Esther-Dijkstra-scaled-2-150x100.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139331 150w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/06\/01154042\/OccupyEUR-9.5.2023_11_Esther-Dijkstra-scaled-2-225x150.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139331 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"flex flex-col gap-2 md:gap-4 \">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"text-md @lg:text-lg\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2023\/06\/01\/executive-board-examinations-and-lectures-disrupted-and-staff-harassed-by-occupyeur\/\" class=\"absolute-link text-current hocus:underline inline-block\">\n\t\t\t\tExecutive Board: Examinations and lectures disrupted and staff harassed by OccupyEUR\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-wrap gap-4 items-center\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sr-only\">Gepubliceerd op:<\/span>\n\t\t\t<time class=\"text-sm font-soehne text-neutral-900\" datetime=\"2023-06-01\">1 June 2023<\/time>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<ul data-component=\"list-badges\" class=\"flex items-center gap-2 flex-wrap\" aria-label=\"Geplaatst in categorie\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div data-component=\"badge\" class=\"block-theme-violet:bg-purple font-soehne font-bold text-sm bg-brown-600 block-theme-violet:bg-purple text-white py-[2px] px-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\tGovernance\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The arrestees\u2019 allegations were shared with the Rotterdam police for comments. According to a spokesperson, the group of students decided to remain hooked in after police ordered them to leave the building several times. \u201cThis was a conscious decision while they knew violence was going to be used. Violence is using more than little force to achieve a goal. Unfortunately, because the students remained seated, we were forced to remove them. To this they did not cooperate. We used more than little force to carry out EUR\u2019s demand to leave the building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">On individual incidents, the police spokesperson would not comment: \u201cWe have not as yet spoken to the individuals you cite. Besides that, we do not agree with the allegations.
