Dutch PM urges Iran to stop violence, free detainees and restore internet
Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof said on Monday that Iran’s leadership was using force to crush protests, leading to many deaths, and called on Tehran to end the violence, release those wrongly detained and restore internet access.
In a post on X, Schoof said the men and women protesting in Iranian cities deserved international support as they stood up to what he called tyranny and spoke out for freedom.
“The Netherlands urgently calls on the Iranian regime to stop this violence, release people who have been unjustly arrested, and restore access to the internet,” he wrote.
“We stand firmly for the rights of the Iranian people,” he added.
