Occupation of Iranian embassy in The Hague

A group of Iranian and non-Iranian activists have issued a statement on occupying parts of the Islamic Republic of Iran's embassy in The Hague, Netherlands today. They published their statement on the internet.

Today we have occupied part of the Iranian embassy in The Hague, in solidarity with you, the people of Iran, who in the past months have witnessed such a level of brutality and barbarity from your "rulers", that the world can see once and for all how illegitimate they truly are.

The Associated Press meanwhile reports that Dutch police arrested ten people who had climbed onto the roof of the embassy and tore down the flag.
