Piersonstraat riots
Squatter eviction in Nijmegen, the Netherlands
The Piersonstraat riots occurred in 1981 in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. After the city council decided to demolish a warehouse and houses in the city centre to build a parking garage, local activists and the squatters movement combined to resist the eviction. This resulted in riots and the events have become part of Dutch history. The parking garage was not built.
