A study from the University of Bristol reveals that climate activists in the UK are three times more likely to be arrested than the global average, with 17.2% of protests leading to arrests. The UK, Australia, and Norway have the highest arrest rates for climate protests, while countries like Germany and France show lower rates. The report highlights concerns over new laws that increase police powers against protests, leading to a rise in arrests and potential police violence. Activists argue that governments are focusing on repressing dissent rather than addressing climate issues. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
