Hundreds of detainees worldwide in protests against climate change
- The movement that emerged in London has filled various parts of the world with demands to deal with the "climate crisis and ecological collapse".
The Extinction Rebellion movement has returned many streets and symbolic places around the world this Monday to denounce the impending massacre of the movement. In the most significant cities, shouting at climate change has been heard. From 7 October to 20, two weeks of protests and initiatives are expected to take place throughout the year. Several sit-ins and roadblocks have been implemented during the first day of the claim, although in some cases there have been a large number of detainees.
The demonstrators have reached the 135 detainees in London and have tried to cut off the Westminster road to block the way in and out of British parliamentarians. Activists have also taken some bridges and walkways.
