Police ban Extinction Rebellion protests from whole of London

City-wide Met police operation begins to clear Trafalgar Square and other protest sites

Police have banned Extinction Rebellion protests from continuing anywhere in London, as they moved in almost without warning to clear protesters who remained at the movement's camp in Trafalgar Square.

The Metropolitan police issued a revised section 14 order on Monday night that said "any assembly linked to the Extinction Rebellion 'Autumn Uprising' ... must now cease their protests within London (MPS and City of London Police Areas)" by 9pm.
