Extinction Rebellion climate activists defy London protest ban Extinction Rebellion protesters are carried away by police for protesting and blocking a road, defying a ban by the Metropolitan Police. The protest occurred a few hundred yards away from the headquarters of Britain’s domestic intelligence agency MI5, where a ‘last supper’ to highlight the issue of food insecurity had been planned. Those arriving for the ‘food sharing feast’ were met with police carrying out bag searches and issuing warnings about potential arrests in the case of breaching the protest ban. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
