POLICE have arrested 160 Extinction Rebellion protesters as the activists performed a theatrical "die in" at Parliament Square today.
Demonstrators were dragged away by police after posing as corpses outside Parliament this morning and also lying down in the road.
It's the second day of widespread protest action by the Extinction Rebellion group in central London.
Various stunts are due to take place throughout the day, including a "theatrical" display highlighting "how the climate crisis is causing death".
Protesters also poured fake blood over the road before gluing themselves to each other outside the Home Office.
Officers said they had made 160 arrests since the group since Friday.
Ninety arrests were made at an Extinction Rebellion demonstration in Parliament Square yesterday.
Eco campaigners sitting in the middle of the road were carried away by cops.
Protesters chanted and cheered as the officers took them away to nearby police vans.
At least one was held on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker.
Actor Sir Mark Rylance, 60, was seen at the 3,000-strong rally.
The protest was the first mass action by the group since an event planned for earlier this year was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

By Emer Scully
The London-based producer Serena Schellenberg admitted there was insufficient evidence to support apocalyptic claims ‘human extinction is a real possibility’ and ‘climate breakdown is already killing 400,000 people every year’.
Climate scientists warned against ‘crying wolf’ as they disputed the claims, reported The Times (LINK).
The film Climate Crisis and Why We Should Panic, launched on social media last year, featured the outlandish statements in the closing minutes...
Ms Schellenberg is the daughter of the late Keith Schellenberg, a flamboyant millionaire who angered those living on the Hebridean island Eigg after buying it in the 1970s...
In the edited version the end of humanity claim has been replaced with: ‘Leading scientists warn that we have entered a state of “planetary emergency” and face the prospect of societal collapse.’...
The 400,000 deaths claim became: ‘The frequency of extreme weather events has already increased threefold.’...
The original version has been viewed 54,000 times in the 12 months since its online release...
