Due to rising tensions between Iran and Israel, the #Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs has decided to close the #embassy in the Iranian capital #Tehran tomorrow. The consulate in the Iraqi city of Erbil will also remain closed as a precaution. Normally both posts are open on Sundays because that is the start of the working week.

@gretathunberg arrested at Hague climate #protest

Swedish #climate activist Greta Thunberg has been arrested by #Dutch police at a protest in The Hague.

The 21-year-old joined hundreds of protesters in a march against fossil fuel subsidies on Saturday.

The protest devolved into a standoff as dozens of police officers, some on horseback, attempted to stop protesters from blocking a main road.
