Police officers carry Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg out of a group of demonstrators and activists in Erkelenz, western Germany, on January 17, 2023, as demonstrations continue against a coal mine extension in the nearby village of Luetzerath/AFPPix: Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was hauled away and detained on Tuesday during a protest near a German village being razed to make way for a coal mine expansion, police said.
A police spokeswoman said a group of activists were in custody after having “broken away from the demonstration”, and run towards the edge of an open pit. On Monday, the last two climate activists occupying the hamlet to stop it being razed left their underground hideout, marking the end of the police operation to evict them.
The end of the operation came despite Saturday’s demonstration, which was attended by thousands, with protesters holding banners with slogans including “Stop coal” and “Luetzerath lives!”
