After an hour the whole group was arrested and deported by bus. The people sitting in the park and standing on the bridge had nothing to do with the action earlier today. The demonstration and struggles between protesters and police ended long before. Even some official guards and organisers from the festival where part of the arrested group. At this moment we don¨·t know the official reason the police gave for the arrests and what will happen to the people. Some good news: about 25 people where able to escape, some entered passing boats and others jumped in the water. And many thanks! to the public transport company for helping the police against the public.

People from both sides of the river stayed calm and tried to tell the police to let the civilians leave.
