'Extinction Rebellion' decries city crackdown on London protests
Oct. 15 (UPI) -- Environmental activists in London vowed Tuesday to defy a ban on recurring "Extinction Rebellion" climate change demonstrations, after hundreds of police officers raided their camp.
The movement to draw attention to climate change began in London months ago, and has since grown in scale and spread to other nations. Renewed protests earlier this month led to city leaders imposing a ban on events related to the Extinction Rebellion.
More than 1,400 activists have been arrested in the last two weeks, and police said violators of the ban will be arrested. Officers made dozens of arrests in Trafalgar Square Monday.
