Climate activist Greta Thunberg was detained twice by police at a demonstration in The Hague, the Netherlands, on April 6. Thunberg was initially detained and held for a short time by local police along with other protesters who tried to block a major highway into The Hague. After she was released, Thunberg quickly rejoined a small group of protesters who were blocking a different road leading to the railway station. There, she was detained a second time and driven off in a police van. Before she was detained, Thunberg told journalists she was protesting because the world is facing an existential crisis. "We are in a planetary emergency, and we are not going to stand by and let people lose their lives and livelihood and be forced to become climate refugees when we can do something," she said. #Climate #Protest #reels #videography #voanews https://www.voanews.com/a/activist-greta-thunberg-detained-at-climate-demonstration-in-the-hague/7559563.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
