Dutch police have issued an arrest warrant for 413 climate activists who took part in an action at Schiphol airport ten days ago.

The Ministry of Defence is still investigating the case, a spokesman said.

Hundreds of members of Extinction Rebellion and Greenpeace went on 5 November to Schiphol-Oost, where private jets are parked, to express their climate concerns.

The group chained themselves to various strategic locations to prevent planes from taking off, hoping to block air traffic for as long as possible.
