Glasgow climate activists to hold 'die-in' protest on Buchanan Street after heatwave

Climate activists will be holding a 'die-in' protest on Buchanan Street days after some of the highest temperatures were recorded in the UK.

Extinction Rebellion Glasgow will be conducting the protest on Saturday July 23 at 11am on the busy shopping street. It will see people lying on the ground covered in white sheers while a 'sombre drum beat will echo' through the street.

Shoppers will have the chance to stop to read the placards laid out on the ‘bodies’ with the ‘cause of death’ including 'Heat Stress - Death from temperature rising to over 40 degrees' and 'Famine - starvation caused by crop failure'.
