Iran’s ambassador to the Netherlands was summoned on Tuesday to protest excessive violence against peaceful demonstrators in Iran, Dutch Foreign Minister David van Weel said, APA reports, citing iranintl.com.

"I am deeply shocked by the bloody repression of peaceful demonstrations in Iran. In coordination with our European partners, I have summoned the Iranian ambassador to formally protest the excessive violence against peaceful protesters, large-scale arbitrary arrests, and internet shutdowns. Iran must respect fundamental rights and immediately restore internet access. Perpetrators must be held accountable. The Netherlands therefore, supports European sanctions against human rights violators in Iran," Van Weel said in a post on X.
