THE HAGUE: Extinction Rebellion climate activists blocked a major motorway running through The Hague on Saturday, their "most disruptive" action yet to protest against billions of euros in Dutch fossil fuel subsidies. While officers were present in case of emergencies, they were not set to break up the protest.


Many of the activists had conducted a week-long march from Arnhem in the east of the Netherlands that culminated in the protest on the A12 motorway that serves The Hague. Activists said some protesters planned to take advantage of the police absence to camp out overnight in the motorway tunnels. — AFP
