NL Times  

Nine Extinction Rebellion activists who remained inside the Rijksmuseum after a larger protest were removed by police around 6:30 p.m. Saturday, authorities confirmed. The activists had glued themselves together in the Hall of Honor near Rembrandt's The Night Watch to demand the museum cut ties with sponsor ING Bank, which they accuse of financing fossil fuels. By the museum's 5:00 p.m. closing time, most demonstrators had dispersed, but the remaining nine refused to leave, citing their right to protest. Earlier in the day, activists chanted slogans like “Rijks, say no to ING!” while museum visitors continued viewing exhibits.
