The campaigners are attempting to shut off petrol to London’s 105 Shell stations and Edinburgh’s 14; 50 have been closed in London and three in Edinburgh, the Guardian reported.

There have been nine confirmed arrests, four in London and five in Edinburgh. The police in Edinburgh have reportedly parked cars outside all the Shell stations across the capital.

Protesters have scaled the roof of the Shell stations on Queenstown Road near Battersea Park in London and on Dalry Road in Edinburgh, with police and fire crews attending the scene in Edinburgh.
The activists are shutting down the stations by using an emergency shut-off switch to stop petrol going to the pumps and then removing a fuse to delay it being switched on again.

The protest is part of Greenpeace’s Save the Arctic campaign, which is aiming to prevent oil drilling and industrial fishing in the Arctic by having the region recognised as a world park.

The organisation understands that Shell is going to begin drilling in the Alaskan Arctic in the coming weeks, with the Russian oil company Gazprom also due to work in the region.

“Shell is preparing, for the first time, to unleash a drilling fleet of huge vessels upon the fragile and beautiful Arctic, home of the polar bears”, said Sara Ayech, a campaigner at the Battersea Park station.

“It’s time to draw a line in the ice and tell Shell to stop. That’s why today we’re going to shut down all of Shell’s petrol stations in the capital cities of London and Edinburgh. We’ve got dozens of people who will hit over 100 Shell garages throughout the day.”

Protests are also taking place across Europe, with activists targetting Shell stations in Denmark and Germany.
