THE Hague District Court on Tuesday ruled to lift the coronavirus-linked curfew in the Netherlands.
The measure, which was used in the Netherlands for the first time since World War II, provoked protests that turned violent.
The court explained that the curfew was imposed based on the emergency law, which allows the government to act without consultation with the parliament.
The court found that the government did not have the time to work with the parliament in this case, as the situation was not urgent enough.
The court ruled that the curfew was a serious infringement upon human rights. (Sputnik/NAN)
