THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Hundreds of Kurdish protesters have occupied the Dutch Parliament building and are calling for more action to combat the Islamic State terror group.

The official Twitter feed of The Hague police says the demonstration late Monday is peaceful and that officers are in talks with the protest leaders. Police advised the public not to go to the square outside Parliament.

National broadcaster NOS posted video on its website showing chanting protesters inside the Parliament building holding a banner that said in Dutch “Stop the silence. Support Kobani,” a reference to the Syrian town close to the Turkish border that was under attack Monday by Islamic State fighters.
