Dutch police removed Extinction Rebellion activists from the A12 near Zevenaar on Saturday morning after the group blocked the highway, according to Hart van Nederland. Broadcaster NOS reported that the climate activists occupied the road at this location, a shift from the group's earlier actions. Officers from the mobile unit (ME) took the demonstrators off the roadway, NU reported.
Roughly 100 campaigners were detained during the action, according to ad.nl. De Telegraaf also reported that the ME cleared the activists from the A12 at Zevenaar. The reports did not specify how long the road was blocked or whether traffic was diverted.
The A12 has been a recurring target for Extinction Rebellion, which has staged repeated blockades on the highway in recent years. Saturday's action near Zevenaar marks the latest in that series, though the available reporting does not detail what the group demanded this time or how the blockade was organised.
