Add to Lightbox DownloadDenham, UK. 8th December, 2020. Hampshire Police officers remove Dan Hooper, widely known as Swampy during the 1990s, from the river Colne for arrest. The climate and roads activist had occupied a bamboo tripod positioned in the river the previous day in order to delay the building of a bridge as part of works for the controversial HS2 high-speed rail link and a large security operation involving officers from at least three police forces, the National Eviction Team and HS2 security guards was put in place to facilitate his removal.
