Riots in Holland

Riots now in Rotterdam as protesters gather and throw bottles and rocks at police cars. The protestors who were throwing rocks at the police vehicles were dispersed with water cannons. A Dutch camera team was also attacked while filming at the Turkish consulate building as the protesters became violent.

The protesters started gathering after Betül Sayan Kaya Minister of Family and Social Policy - AK Party Istanbul Deputy started tweeting complaints claiming that the Holland government is a "fascist administration needs to get the world's attitude". She tweeted that "Europe, so-called center of contemporary civilization! We are not allowed to step in Turkish Consulate General, our own land." In her pleas she also stated, "We will never surrender this lawlessness as a Turkish citizen and a woman, not just as a minister." She also claims that, "Democracy has no fundamental values, human rights, freedoms. There is bullying and pressure" in her tweets.

The consulate is in Holland but as it is throughout the world in varying countries the consulate would be considered a safe haven for Turkish citizens who need help while in a foreign land. She claims that the, "Netherlands is violating all international laws, conventions and human rights by not letting me enter Turkish Consulate in Rotterdam". Per her tweets she believed she could not be moved off of Holland's soil. "Hundreds of cops have barricaded us with our citizens. No power can break the link between us."
Her Twitter statements early on were "We are the Great Turkey with our citizens living abroad. No meeting with Turkey's own sons can be an obstacle." "At the NGO and Public Meeting organized by our Consulate General in Düsseldorf, we are in contact with our valued citizens." There is anticipation a heavy loss to the anti-Islam party of Geert Wilders in elections next week. Rueters reported that the Dutch government considered her visits undesirable and "the Netherlands could not cooperate in the public political campaigning of Turkish ministers in the Netherlands." 

Excerpt from the Reuters article (The government said it saw the potential to import divisions into its own Turkish minority, which has both pro- and anti-Erdogan camps. Dutch politicians across the spectrum said they supported Prime Minister Mark Rutte's decision to ban the visits) The Rotterdam mayor confirmed to various reporters that Betül Sayan Kaya was being escorted by police to the German border.
