A small group of around 50 members of the English Defence League took part in a demonstration in support of anti-Islam campaigner Geert Wilders on the outskirts of Amsterdam on Saturday, the Parool reports.

The demo had been moved to the edge of the city because police were concerned about the risk of clashes with anti-Wilders demonstrators.
There was a very heavy police presence and the nearest metro station to the event, where anti-Wilders demonstrators had gathered, was sealed off by riot police with horses and dogs.
Police arrested 34 people. Eighteen were picked up for not having id and were released after being fined. Fourteen were arrested for public order offences and were held overnight in custody. Five of those arrested were English, the Parool said.
