The Finland police attacked the freedom convoy and started to tow trucks and detained 55 people outside parliament.
Yle news reported:
Police detained some 55 protesters outside parliament when they broke up a ‘convoy’ demonstration that had blocked traffic for several hours in pursuit of demands including cheaper petrol and the resignation of the government.
Police began towing vehicles parked on Mannerheimintie when the protesters did not disperse when instructed to do so just after midnight.
Two of the detainees were taken in on suspicion of obstructing an official carrying out his duties, and police tweeted that one of their tow trucks had its tires punctured with a sharp implement.
