police say they arrested 14 protestors during an operation to remove some of
the tents belonging to the Occupy Beursplein movement.

the Amsterdam authorities told the Occupy activists that they had until
Thursday morning to give 75 percent of the Beursplein back to ‘ordinary
Amsterdammers’ and improve the fire safety, sanitary and hygiene measures
throughout the rest of the protest camp.

allowed to spend the night at the protest camp.

they made the arrests after protestors refused to follow instructions issued by
the police.
