"Swedish climate activist Greta #Thunberg has been arrested by Dutch police at a protest in #TheHague.
"The 21-year-old joined hundreds of #protesters in a march against #FossilFuel 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.
"Local police put Ms Thunberg on a bus full of demonstrators and she was driven away from the scene.
"Protesters had planned to block The Hague's A12 highway for what #ExtinctionRebellion (#XR) organisers say was the 37th time. The road has been subject to regular blockades since 2022."
