Greta Thunberg has been detained twice by Dutch police at a protest in The Hague. The climate activist was seen flashing a victory sign as she sat in a bus used by police to take detained demonstrators away from the scene. The protest - organised by Extinction Rebellion - was against Dutch subsidies and tax breaks to companies linked to fossil fuel industries. Footage showed the moment two police officers dragged the 21-year-old away from a main road into The Hague.
A heavy police presence, including officers on horseback, initially prevented the activists from getting on to the road. But a small group of people managed to sit down on another road and were detained after ignoring police orders to leave. Demonstrators waved flags and chanted: "We are unstoppable, another world is possible." One held a banner reading: "This is a dead end street." A spokesman for the Public Prosecutor's Office confirmed Ms Thunberg was among dozens of protesters who were briefly detained before being released at a different location. She returned and was detained again for blocking a nearby traffic intersection. Prosecutor spokesman Vincent Veenman said no charges had been laid against the activists
