(ANSA) - LONDON, OCTOBER 25 - Activists of the ecological group Insulate Britain have blocked some of the most important streets in east London and, according to the capital's police, 52 arrests have been made.
The news is reported by the media of the United Kingdom.
The organization, known for having targeted the M25 motorway, one of Britain's main arteries, several times in its demonstration actions, thus completed the fourteenth block in six weeks.
In this case, dozens of protesters targeted one of the busiest and busiest areas of London, stopping traffic with a series of sit-ins and banners in the middle of the road at Upper Thames Street, Bishopsgate, Limehouse Causeway and in the area around Liverpool Street station. The agents intervened and proceeded quickly to the stops, made much easier after the Home Office obtained an injunction from the High Court in London to evacuate environmentalists obstructing traffic.
The actions of Insulate Britain, which call for greater insulation of homes in the Kingdom to combat global warming, are set to intensify in the wake of COP26, the UN climate conference that opens Sunday in Glasgow. (HANDLE).
