Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg was arrested outside a major energy industry event in London, where crowds of protesters blocked several top oil executives from entering the venue.
Thunberg had addressed protesters who held signs saying “People not Profit” as delegates tried to gain access to the Intercontinental hotel. As many as 250 demonstrators blocked entrances to the building, where the annual Energy Intelligence Forum is taking place through Thursday.
