Amsterdam Expands Security Zone Ahead of Anti-Immigration Protest

Amsterdam authorities have declared a large portion of the city center a security risk area ahead of an anti-immigration demonstration planned for Saturday afternoon at Museumplein.

The expanded zone includes Centraal Station, the Red Light District, Nieuwmarkt, Dam Square, and Rembrandtplein, where police have the authority to conduct preventive searches, and wearing face coverings is prohibited.

Nederland in Opstand, the organizing group, urged participants to keep the protest peaceful.

The number of participants expected is unknown, and both police and city officials declined to provide estimates.
