German police continue their operation to clear anti-coal protesters from the abandoned town of Luetzerath. 2,000 activists set up a camp in the village, which is set for demolition to enable the expansion of the neighbouring Garzweiler coal mine. Around 200 protesters still remain, clinging to trees or on the roofs of buildings, as police work to dislodge them.
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is carried away by the police before being briefly detained on 17 January 2023. Greta was participating in a protest near the German village of Luetzerath, threatened to be demolished to make way for a coal mine expansion.
