Chief of police critical
Chief of police Janny Knol is critical of police action. “This is not the police we want to be and this should never have happened this way,” she says. Knol points out that the police cannot address people about their participation in a demonstration.
Also, the police cannot ask about their views, she thinks. “We are not a thought police. Every resident of the Netherlands is completely free to come out for his or her opinion and to participate in demonstrations, of course within the limits of the law.”
Why the woman was visited at home is unclear and does not want to share the police. “But whatever the reason is, this woman should never have been approached in this way,” said Knol.
