Seven riot police also tested negative for drug use after some crystal methamphetamine was found in a police van. Police claimed the drugs were planted in the vehicle, which had been surrounded and damaged during the confrontation. Police were filing a complaint against people who distributed "fake news" regarding the drugs in the police van. Fifty-five people were treated for injuries and illness, including six for gunshot wounds, during clashes between rival demonstrators outside parliament on Tuesday. Some amount of crystal meth and equipment used for taking the drugs are found in a police van, but police insist the drugs were planted.
