LONDON, Oct. 16-- London police officers do not sit on their hands in the face of hardened environmental protesters who reportedly had an intention to cause serious disruption over the past 10 days in the center of the British capital. IMPORTANT VENUES TARGETED Hundreds of protesters, organized by Extinction Rebellion, descended on Trafalgar Square again on Wednesday afternoon in defiance of a police "ban" on their "autumn uprising" protests in London. Environmental activists walked a "Trojan horse" around embassies in London on Wednesday to highlight ecocide while mothers and babies gathered outside Google's headquarters to blockade the doors in another protest. There are plans to target the London subway network on Thursday. Police said that it is "totally unacceptable" to shut down the Tube system. This led to the Met Police imposing conditions, telling those involved in the "autumn uprising" they face arrest should they continue. The group has been demonstrating across London since last Monday in order to push the British government into taking more actions on climate change. This is part of a global push to highlight the issue of climate change as demonstrations were reported in such other cities as Amsterdam, Berlin, New York and Sydney. The environmental activists have succeeded in closing off Lambeth Bridge and the Mall last week and plan to shut down key other key sites in central London, including Westminster Bridge, in addition to protests outside government departments. |
