Flying Tomatoes: Dutch hold massive food fight against Russian sanctions

Dozens wearing goggles and shower caps took to the streets of Dam square in central Amsterdam to take part in a massive tomato fight in protest of Russian sanctions, Sunday. The tomato fight was organised to draw attention the Dutch farmers who have fallen victim to the sanctions put in place as a result of growing tensions between EU and Russia. The organizer Joep Verbunt explained that the tomatoes used cannot be eaten because they are over-ripe but after the protest they will be converted to sustainable energy.
