HOUSTON - Police have arrested the Greenpeace climate protesters who closed part of a key oil export waterway for 18 hours by tying themselves to a bridge and dangling over the water.
Twelve people were taken into police custody shortly after 5 p.m., Thursday, according to spokesmen for Greenpeace and the Harris County Sheriff’s office. The other 11 who were dangling by ropes and attached to one another were arrested late on Thursday and early Friday, police said. Mike Herbert, 36, a protester reached by phone while he dangled about 100 feet from the bridge, said the group wanted to “force the hand of the political hopefuls to address the elephant in the room: climate change.”
“We’ll know more about the charges in the morning,” Schleeter said. “Although they were prepared to stay for 24 hours, we feel that we have achieved our goal and sent a powerful message.”A sheriff’s representative was not available early Friday to comment on charges that the protesters face.
