Police Raid Glasgow Squat Housing Climate Activists Protesting COP26

HeadlineNov 09, 2021

Elsewhere in Glasgow, police reportedly used a battering ram early Monday morning to break into a disused former homeless shelter that had been converted into a temporary squat for climate activists. Witnesses described Metropolitan police and Welsh forces going from room to room with batons drawn. The officers’ conduct reportedly shocked Scottish police who arrived on the scene soon after the raid. Activists say they’ve since reopened the space. After headlines, we’ll go to Glasgow for the latest on the COP26 climate summit.
