A group of climate protesters who glued themselves to the floor of a Volkswagen dealership were left in the cold and dark after staff switched off the lights and heating and went home.
The demonstrators, who said they were all scientists and members of a group calling itself Scientist Rebel, glued themselves to the floor of Autostadt adjacent to the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, Germany, to protest against climate change and demand the car manufacturer support their fight against pollution.
They said that the carmaker accepted their right to protest, but when it was time to lock up, the employees left them glued to the floor without lighting or heating. They also complained on Twitter that Volkswagen refused their requests to supply a bowl for toilet purposes and would not let them order food from the outside for delivery.
