Today, September 14, 2025, there were several notable protests around the world:
- In Groningen, Netherlands, there was a "Rode Lijn" (Red Line) demonstration on the Grote Markt. Protesters dressed in red protested against the Dutch government's silence and inaction regarding the situation in Gaza. The protest was a call for the Dutch government to actively support a ceasefire in Gaza and allow humanitarian aid. The event included speeches, music, and a march through the city center.
- In London, UK, a massive far-right anti-immigration protest called the "Unite the Kingdom" march was held, organized by Tommy Robinson. Over 110,000 people participated, advocating against illegal immigration and for free speech. The protest saw some violence and clashes with police, with multiple officers injured and several arrests. There was also a counter-protest nearby promoting anti-racism.
- In Berlin, Germany, thousands rallied against what they termed Israeli genocide in Gaza, demanding an end to the military offensive and German arms exports to Israel. The protest attracted around 12,000 to 20,000 participants and included speeches condemning Israel's actions in Gaza.
- In Ankara, Turkey, tens of thousands protested against a legal crackdown on the main opposition party, opposing a court case that could remove their leader and undermine democratic principles.
These were the major protests today, focusing largely on immigration and the conflict in Gaza, with significant participation in Europe and Turkey.
