Extinction Rebellion, which caused days of traffic chaos in central London three years ago, and another group Just Stop Oil blocked refineries around London, Birmingham, and Southampton.said it temporarily suspended operations at three oil terminals in Britain due to what it described as a series of small protests.Police in Essex, just east of London, said they were dealing with three incidents and six people had been arrested.
Extinction Rebellion said it plans to increase the pressure on the government with daily protests in London, which are due to begin on April 9.
