Police intervened
Sit-in blockade in Brussels: Thunberg arrested
Greta Thunberg has once again been arrested during a sit-in blockade in Brussels. The Swedish climate protection activist was carried away by police officers on Saturday together with dozens of fellow campaigners.
As a journalist reported to the AFP news agency, Thunberg had blocked a street in the Belgian capital together with other climate activists.
Police request ignored
She did not comply with a request from the police to voluntarily end the sit-in blockade.
Protest against fossil fuel subsidies
The sit-in by a small group of demonstrators took place at the same time as a protest march against fossil fuel subsidies, which had begun in front of the seat of the European Parliament.
The demonstration was organized by the group United for Climate Justice. Thunberg had already been temporarily arrested several times in various countries in the past during protest actions.
