Photographer Pushed by Police Officer into Water: 'We Had to Act Quickly'
During riots at The Hague's Malieveld on Saturday, Spanish photographer Nacho Calonge was pushed by a police officer and fell into water while creating space for an arrest unit. A police spokesperson stated that the agent may not have seen the water behind him and emphasized that while journalists must have room to work, they should not obstruct operations during aggressive situations. The police are in contact with Calonge and journalist safety organizations NVJ and PersVeilig to handle the incident carefully. Additionally, several journalists reported being threatened or harassed by demonstrators, prompting police to coordinate with them regarding potential reports.
