Climate activists protesting in the United States prevented WWII veterans from attending a ceremony in Colombia to mark the 80th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack. Reported by The Western Journal.
Demonstrators blocked access to the National Friends of World War II Memorial. The veterans got to the commemoration ceremony only by the time the names of the victims were read out, being late for the beginning.
Lindsay Fyfield, a member of The Heritage Foundation, denounced the protesters for blockading the roads and said that she helped veterans bypass the rally and get to the event site. Climate activists have demanded action from the US Congress on a range of issues related to immigration, racial justice and global climate change.
In September in Britain, more than 40 environmental activists from the climate group Insulate Britain blocked the main entrance to Dover, Europe's busiest ferry port, which handles 17 percent of UK trade.
