Amsterdam, September 29 (RHC)-- In the Netherlands, a massive climate protest is now in its 20th day as activists blockade the A12, a major highway.  Over 6,000 people have been arrested since the action started. 

Activists are demanding the Dutch government end its over $40 billion in annual subsidies for fossil fuel companies. Demonstrators say police are using increasingly violent tactics to quell their movement. 

Extinction Rebellion Netherlands is taking authorities to court in a bid to ban the use of water cannons against peaceful protesters.
