FWIW, what they were accused of was squatting, not protesting climate change. I still think that's a ludicrous abuse of police powers, but it's worth being accurate.



And in the spirit of accuracy : the reason for the arrest was the violence during an eviction (several injured police officers), not the squatting itself.


Ah, thank you. I didn't realise that. Appreciate the correction!
