Environmental activist Greta Thunberg is taken away by police officers during the Oily Money Out protest outside an oil executives conference in London, Oct. 17, 2023.
Thunberg was among dozens of protesters who chanted “oily money out” and attempted to block access to the InterContinental Hotel on Park Lane, which is hosting the Energy Intelligence Forum. The conference is hosting speakers, including the chief executives of Saudi Arabia’s Aramco and Norway’s Equinor, as well as the U.K.’s energy security minister.
Earlier Tuesday, London's Metropolitan Police said five people were arrested on suspicion of obstructing a highway during the protest. “The world is drowning in fossil fuels. Our hopes and dreams and lives are being washed away by a flood of greenwashing and lies,” Thunberg told reporters before she was detained. “It has been clear for decades that the fossil fuel industries were well aware of the consequences of their business models, and yet they have done nothing.”
