Riot police backed by bulldozers removed scores of activists from buildings in an abandoned village in western Germany on Thursday in a second day of confrontations over the expansion of a coal mine.
Officers climbed ladders to reach protesters perched on roofs and walls in Luetzerath, which energy firm RWESome activists threw stones, bottles and firecrackers at police approaching a building with a pallet truck, though the demonstrations were largely peaceful.
More than a thousand police officers in riot gear moved in and started clearing barricades on Wednesday morning following a court decision allowing the development. Protesters said hundreds of people were still holed up in the village, two of them in a tunnel under the site.
