It could be worse, like Germany, France, UK or the US, but it's clearly visible that the #Netherlands is by far not the country of human rights any-more. The so-called 'tolerate' country is not dead, but has never existed. It was a facade for capitalist reasons.
Civicus Monitor: *The CIVICUS Monitor downgrades the Netherlands’ civic space to "Narrowed" amid increasing repression of protest rights*
https://monitor.civicus.org/press_release/2024/netherlands
"The CIVICUS Monitor announced in a new report Wednesday that it has downgraded the Netherlands’ civic space to "Narrowed" in its annual ratings report. The rating change reflects a persistent policy of repressing peaceful protests with mass arrests, in particular against #climate protests and demonstrations in solidarity with #Palestine.
In a year that saw a global pattern of detention of protesters as the top violation documented by the #CIVICUS Monitor, the Netherlands joins a growing list of countries whose response to people challenging those in power was the unjustified use of force. Around 10% of the total civic space violations documented globally in 2024 either took place in the Occupied Palestinian Territories or were perpetrated against those expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people and calling for peace. …"

The High Court has ruled that the Government acted unlawfully in creating legislation which gave the police ‘almost unlimited’ powers to restrict protests.
"Court finds Government anti-protest legislation unlawful after liberty legal challenge"
by Liberty Humanrights
Quotes:
"* Court quashes law which lowered threshold on protest crackdowns to anything that caused ‘more than minor’ disturbance.
* Court rules that the Government did not have the power to create this legislation, and as such is unlawful.
* Liberty calls the ruling “a huge victory for democracy”."
"In its judgment published today (21 May 2024), the Court found that the then Home Secretary Suella Braverman passed anti-protest measures in June 2023 despite having not been given the power by Parliament to do so." [Braverman AGAIN

"The Government has already announced that it is appealing the ruling to the Court of Appeal. The High Court has suspended the reversal of the measures until after the outcome of the appeal."
"Hundreds of protesters have been arrested under these measures since they were created, including the climate activist Greta Thunberg who was acquitted of all charges in a hearing in February 2024." [Thunberg AGAIN
JdeB]
"The Court also found that the consultation ran by the Government prior to proposing this legislation was “one-sided and not fairly carried out”, and therefore also unlawful.
The Government had invited only those supportive of its plans to a consultation meeting to discuss the measure – groups included policing bodies and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) – but did not engage other parties that would be impacted such as community groups and protest groups."
