Cello-playing climate activist arrested at New York Citibank protest as crackdown escalates
Second activist also arrested during ‘summer of heat’ protest against second largest financier of fossil fuels
In a separate incident on 21 July, videographer and summer of heat organizer Teddy Ogborn was arrested and held in a cell for more than eight hours, days after he filmed an alleged Citi employee apparently inciting violence against climate protesters blocking the entrance.
“Just punch him in the f–king head! Punch him in the f–king head,” shouted the woman, identified by protesters as the executive assistant to Citi’s co-head of Global Financial Strategy, which Ogborn caught on camera. “Get a machine gun and f–king kill them all,” she added.
“These comments are unacceptable,” a Citi spokesperson said. “We are looking into the matter and it will be addressed appropriately.”
