Thunberg arrested during climate protest in The Hague
A highway in the Netherlands has been targeted by climate activists for some time. Several demonstrators were arrested during a protest at the weekend - including the well-known Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.
Police officers led the 21-year-old away in The Hague, as reported by Swedish media. The protests were organized by the Extinction Rebellion (XR) organization. The A12 highway was temporarily blocked and the police also used water cannons against the demonstration, the reports continued.
The A12, which runs through the center of The Hague, has been the focus of protests for some time. The activists want the Netherlands to cut all state subsidies for fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas.

Thunberg had already been arrested in April during protests in The Hague. Police officers also took the activist away at the end of May during pro-Palestinian protests against Israel's participation in the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in Malmö. Around two weeks ago, Thunberg was also arrested at an XR protest in the Finnish capital Helsinki.
