"Niels Harmsen, known by friends as Yoshi, had arrived in the area a few days before the events of July 5th, where mass arrests and abductions took place at Liberty Island. A Dutch national by birth, he had also recently been given citizenship of Liberland when he decided to join the Liberland Red Cross Society.

"On his reasons for joining the LLRC he replied 'It appealed to me. I wanted to play a part in solving this crisis, and I like to help people in need. Activism and fighting the police is not for me, but I felt that as a Red Cross volunteer, I could help de-escalate the situation. It would appear that I was wrong.'"
