Climate protesters were intercepted by security staff and carried away after they attempted to rush the stage at Shell’s shareholder meeting in London on Tuesday, video shows.
Security personnel shielded CEO Wael Sawan and company directors as a flash mob of protesters hurled profanities, screamed “shut down Shell” and ran at the stage, preventing the meeting from proceeding for more than an hour. Several protesters were lifted by their arms and legs and carried out of the room at London’s ExCel Conference Center.
“Go to hell, Shell, and don’t you come back no more,” sang the activists, who say fossil fuel companies of raking in record profits while polluting the environment.
