1. VARIOUS OF DEMONSTRATORS GATHERING TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR PROTESTS IN IRAN, CHANTING SLOGANS, HOLDING FLAGS, BANNERS AND POSTERS IN AMSTERDAM

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS - JAN. 3: A protest was held in Amsterdam on Saturday, Jan. 3, as demonstrators gathered to show support for protests in Iran, drawing attention to reported violence and alleged human rights violations, with participants assembling at Dam Square to voice their concerns.

The demonstrators held signs and chanted slogans highlighting what they described as violence and rights abuses in Iran.

Iran has been rocked by widespread protests in recent weeks amid a deteriorating economy and the rapid depreciation of the rial, which has crossed 1,350,000 against the US dollar.

There have also been incidents of violence, with reports of several deaths, including those of protesters and police officers in different cities.

The government has held several rounds of talks with representatives of shopkeepers in an effort to address the situation, which has taken an especially ugly turn in the capital, Tehran.

US President Donald Trump said in a post on Friday that Washington would “come to the rescue” of protesters if Tehran uses lethal force against them, a remark that sparked angry reactions from top Iranian officials.
