Pregnant Woman Assaulted by Police at Shelter | Amsterdam News

A pregnant woman at an asylum shelter in Zeist was violently thrown to the ground by a police officer during a confrontation, sparking outrage and charges of assault. Footage shows her being pulled by the arm and falling — an incident the officer claims was necessary to control a disruptive man, though he admits he didn’t know she was pregnant. The woman, who was trying to ask a simple question about accompanying her husband, speaks broken English and says she wasn’t defiant. Her daughter was born just two weeks later, both healthy — but the case highlights how communication breakdowns can spiral into extreme force. Police say their actions were justified for safety, but the legal system will now decide if that’s true. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
