UK Police Arrest More Than 750 Climate Change Protestors

Description

According to Reuters, more than 750 climate change activists have been arrested over the last six days in London. Police in the British city said the number was up Saturday from Friday's total of 682 after protestors, organized by climate group Extinction Rebellion, disrupted travel by blocking roads at popular landmarks, including the Marble Arch and Waterloo Bridge. Extinction Rebellion has been calling for non-violent civil disobedience to force the British government to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2025. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick told BBC News that there were 1,500 police officers on Saturday working to clear the roads.
