Police arrest 14 climate activists while clearing out University of Amsterdam building
On Tuesday evening, the police arrested 14 people while clearing out a University of Amsterdam building. The climate activists had occupied a hall at the Roeterseiland campus. They are suspected of, among other things, a “breach of the local peace and rebellion,” the police said on Twitter. The activists occupied the hall to demand that the university break ties with the fossil fuel industry. There have been similar occupations at other academic institutions this month.
