"Climate Activists Block Dutch Highway, Prompting Police to Deploy Water Cannon"

Police in the Netherlands used water cannon to disperse thousands of climate activists who were protesting on a highway, demanding an end to government subsidies for the fossil fuel industry. Over 10,000 people marched into The Hague, and 2,400 protesters, including minors, were detained. Extinction Rebellion, the organizer of the event, vowed to continue protesting until the Dutch government stops subsidizing the oil and gas industry.
