Blockade on the A7

Op 18 november 2017 wordt een groep anti-Zwarte Pietactivisten op de A7 naar Dokkum, waar ze wilden demonstreren tijdens de jaarlijkse Sinterklaasintocht, de weg versperd. De demonstratie wordt, ondanks een vergunning om te mogen demonstreren, hierna alsnog verboden door de burgemeester van Dokkum, uit angst dat de situatie uit de hand zal lopen.
