London climate-change arrests top 120 on second day of street protests
LONDON - Police have arrested 209 people in two days of protests after climate-change activists blocked some of London’s most important junctions including Oxford Circus and Marble Arch, causing traffic chaos.
Police said they expected the demonstrations to continue in coming weeks and had to strike the right balance between allowing the right to peaceful protest while ensuring disruption was kept at a minimum. More than a dozen activists had been arrested at Waterloo Bridge near parliament by lunchtime on Tuesday.
Two protesters on Monday climbed up scaffolding, writing “Shell Knows!” in red paint on the front of the building and three protesters glued their hands to revolving doors at the entrance.Tents littered the prime shopping area of Oxford Circus on Tuesday morning, with some activists huddled beneath a model boat with the words “Tell the Truth” across its side. One placard read: “Rebel for Life”.
