Police end Greenpeace blockade of BP headquarters

A Greenpeace activist is arrested by police in front of the BP headquarters in London, Britain, May 20 2019. Picture: REUTERS/SIMON DAWSONolice said Monday they had detained all 10 Greenpeace activists who had blocked the entrances to BP's global headquarters to convince the British energy giant to halt oil and gas exploration.

"BP is fuelling a climate emergency that threatens millions of lives and the future of the living world," said activist Paul Morozzo. "We must stop searching for new oil and gas if we want a liveable planet. BP must clean up or clear out." "But impeding safe entry and exit from an office building in this way is dangerous and clearly a matter for the police to resolve as swiftly as possible."

The stunt came a month after the Extinction Rebellion climate protests brought parts of central London to a halt.
