At least 21 climate change activists, taking part in the “Extinction Rebellion”, have been arrested in London.
The protests are part of a global movement demanding tougher action on carbon caused climate change from governments. London’s Metropolitan Police reported that the activists were detained on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.
Protestors in other cities, such as Berlin and Amsterdam, blocked roads and attempted to stifle business to maximise the disruptiveness of the protests. In Dublin, protestors have planned a week of demonstrations and have floated the idea of blocking roads in the city.
In all, disruptive protests are taking place this week in 60 cities around the world.
