Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has been arrested by Dutch police at a protest in The Hague.
The 21-year-old joined hundreds of protesters in a march against fossil fuel subsidies on Saturday.
The protest devolved into a standoff as dozens of police officers, some on horseback, attempted to stop protesters from blocking a main road.
Those, including Ms Thunberg, who managed to separate from the colourful crowd and sit down cross-legged on the A12 highway, were first asked by police if they wanted to cooperate by boarding the buses. Those who refused were hoisted up by arms and rucksacks and deposited in the vehicles.
Local police put Ms Thunberg on a bus full of demonstrators and she was driven away from the scene.
Later on Saturday, reports emerged that Ms Thunberg had returned to the protest and been arrested for a second time.
That’s the kind of attention she craves. Makes a nice photo op. What would be better is lots and lots of cold water out of a firehose. Cold and wet is very discouraging, and doesn’t make a very good photo op when you look like a drowned rat.

A candidate running for Senate in New Jersey attributed Friday’s east coast earthquake to climate change.
Christina Khalil, who is running for a Senate seat in New Jersey as a member of the Green Party, blamed the “climate crisis” for the unusual magnitude 4.8 earthquake that struck her state and several others bordering it on Friday. Khalil is hoping to take the seat currently occupied by longtime Democratic New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez.
“I experienced my first earthquake in NJ. We never get earthquakes. The climate crisis is real,” Khalil wrote in a post shared on X, formerly Twitter. “The weirdest experience ever.”
