Greta Thunberg Detained by Police
https://www.westernjournal.com/ap-greta-thunberg-detained-police/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=newsletter-CT&utm_campaign=dailypm&utm_content=conservative-tribuneClimate activist Greta Thunberg was among dozens of people detained Saturday by police in The Hague as they removed protesters who were partially blocking a road in the Dutch city.
Thunberg was seen flashing a victory sign as she sat in a bus used by police to take detained demonstrators from the scene of a protest against Dutch subsidies and tax breaks to companies linked to f****l f**l industries.
The Extinction R*******n campaign group said before the demonstration that the activists would block a main highway into The Hague, but a heavy police presence, including officers on horseback, initially prevented the activists from getting onto the road.
A small group of people managed to sit down on another road and were detained after ignoring police orders to leave.
Extinction R*******n activists have blocked the highway that runs past the temporary home of the Dutch parliament more than 30 times to protest the subsidies.

The demonstrators waved f**gs and chanted: “We are unstoppable, another world is possible.”
One held a banner reading: “This is a dead end street.”
In February, Thunberg, 21, was acquitted by a court in London of refusing to follow a police order to leave a protest blocking the entrance to a major oil and gas industry conference last year.
Her activism has inspired a global youth movement demanding stronger efforts to fight c*****e c****e since she began staging weekly protests outside the Swedish parliament starting in 2018.

She has repeatedly been fined in Sweden and the U.K. for civil disobedience in connection with protests.
