What do you know about the police raid to the facilities of the news agency Ozgurluk in Amsterdam on the 14th of april this year? (I know, I'm a bit late, I only heard of it recently)
The people at Ozgurluk say the police took everything in the office, threatened to shoot a 17-year old female who was sleeping there if she looked at what they were doing and left a note with a number to contact for further information, but no list of the things they took. Ozgurluk also says they were suspected of no crimes and no charges were made against them, and that it was a political strike supporting the Kurdi genocide in Turkey. (Ozgurluk supports the kurdi cause)
In any case, this struck me as somewhat odd behavious for the police, and I prefer to verify any info I get from independent sources, so I thought I'd ask if you know anything about what happened.

Affected,
I have never heard of such an incident. And actually, it strikes me as quite unlikely since our policecorps is made out of extremely laid-back and respectful people. I know i sound like a government propagandist now but i can assure you i am not biased
Furthermore the Netherlands knows a large amount of kurdi immigrants and politically supports the kurdi cause, so it doesnt make much sense.
Im not saying it didnt happen, but i think it was an individual act made by people abusing their position as a law enforcement officer.
Could you perhaps point me to some sources of yours? Im quite intruiged by this.
