AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS (JAN. 14, 2026) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL)

VARIOUS OF DEMONSTRATORS GATHERING AT DAM SQUARE, HOLDING FLAGS AND SIGNS, AND CHANTING SLOGANS AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS - JAN. 14: Demonstrators gathered at Dam Square in Amsterdam on Wednesday, Jan. 14, to express support for anti-government protests in Iran, as international concern grows over reported crackdowns inside the country.

Demonstrators called for greater political freedoms and denounced restrictions on dissent in Iran.

Demonstrators held banners and chanted slogans during the demonstration.

Iran has been rocked by waves of protests since last month, starting Dec. 28 at Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, over the sharp depreciation of the Iranian rial and worsening economic conditions. Demonstrations later spread to several other cities.

Government officials have accused the US and Israel of backing the "riots" and "terrorism."

There are no official casualty figures, but the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), a US-based rights group, estimates that more than 2,500 people have been killed, including security forces and protesters, and more than 1,100 others injured.
The group also says more than 18,000 people have been detained, though these figures have not been independently verified and differ from other estimates.
