Twenty-four arrested at far-right rally in The Hague released as journalists report threats

Monday, 21 September 2026, 06:43 · 1 min read

All 24 people detained during a far-right demonstration on the Malieveld (a large public square in The Hague commonly used for protests) on Saturday have been released, though authorities say they will face legal proceedings at a later date. The rally, organised by the group Wij Zijn Het Volk, turned violent when participants attempted an unauthorised march through the city, throwing fireworks, sticks, and smoke bombs at police, who responded with water cannon and eventually dissolved the entire event. Dutch Justice Minister Van Weel condemned what he called "disgusting images" of Hitler salutes, antisemitic chants, and violence against officers, while three journalists separately reported being physically and verbally threatened during the unrest.
