The protesters who were supporters of the Constitutional Monarchist Association, gathered, chaining their automobiles together and began chanting anti-Mullah slogans in Persian and English.

Based on reports from BELGA, the Belgian news agency, the protestors who had converged upon Brussels from various countries across Europe, sounding the horns of their cars and in unison, raised their voices against the exceedingly distasteful and hypocritical relationship of the E.U. with the criminal regime of the Mullahs. They demanded that the business deals, discussions, concessions and "breaks" that they give the Mullahs come to an immediate end. They chanted: "Stop protecting the Mullahs".

The latest reports state that the very confrontational Belgian riot police (who had two months ago attempted to attack the Iranians who had protested on the plane) descended upon the protestors and disbursed them throughout the side streets though the protestors continue their protests in the surrounding areas of the E.U. headquarters. The Belgian riot police also went as far as arresting a number of the protestors. They excused their confrontational approach with the protestors by stating that the protestors did not have a permit. However, they omitted the fact that the permit had been requested and they had denied it to said group. The protestors alleged to have been physically attacked by Belgian riot police who had completely surrounded the protestors.
