Overview
- Police reported the Malieveld demonstration in The Hague was orderly with no incidents as crowds ranged from the hundreds into the low thousands.
- Protesters carried pre-revolutionary lion-and-sun flags, some Israeli flags, and photos of Reza Pahlavi, whom some participants back as a future leader.
- About 100 people gathered at Almere’s Stadhuisplein in a second local protest within a week, up from roughly 30 at the previous rally.
- Eindhoven saw a separate turnout of roughly 175 to 200 at 18 Septemberplein, where authorities said the event was calm despite one unrelated nuisance report.
- Demonstrations in the Netherlands respond to nationwide unrest in Iran that began in late December; diaspora-based rights groups report thousands killed, while information remains hard to verify due to shutdowns.
