The police at the #A12Blockade in the Hague yesterday, against a peaceful, non-violent protester. Shameful. The police is not your friend!

@extinctionrebellionnl has reportedly occupied the A12. Here, at the support demo, there is a very amazing atmosphere.

Heading to the A12 support demo in #TheHague to demand the Dutch government stops it’s €37.5 billion yearly fossil subsidies. Sadly, I won’t be joining @extinctionrebellionnl in blocking the A12 (since I haven’t done an action training, yet), but I’m happy to support them in the support demo.

In the meantime, we can thank the Public Prosecution Service for spreading the correct date and strengthening the support for climate activists:

In answer to their prosecution of nonviolent protesters, many people and organisations decided to join the call for the #A12blockade, including:

💕

Greenpeace
Urgenda
Milieudefensie
FNV
DeGoedeZaak
Both ENDS
Fossielvrij NL
Jonge Klimaatbeweging
Oxfam Novib
and of course Grutjes, yours truly

The Amsterdam Court of Appeal ruled last year in crystal clear language that a call for a roadblock is not incitement.

We call on all our allies and everyone concerned about the climate and ecological crises and the right to protest.

Join us at 12 p.m. on January 28th at Bezuidenhoutseweg 67, The Hague at the solidarity demo!

Earlier this week one of Extinction Rebellion NL’s attorneys had already contacted the Public Prosecutor and informed them that arrests are not necessary and all XR rebels will report for questioning if requested. Despite this, peaceful climate activists are being lifted out of bed at 7 a.m. and arrested.
This is outrageous, criminalizing and out of all proportion.

ARRESTS OF DUTCH CLIMATE ACTIVISTS

This morning, in the Netherlands, police arrested six climate activists on suspicion of incitement, including Jelle de Graaf (@jelle_de_graaf) and Tessel Hofstede. Actor Sieger Sloot (@siegersloot) had the police at the door, but after searching his house the officers had to leave again because he was not at home.
