EXTINCTION Rebellion activists turned an HSBC branch in Oxford into a 'crime scene' today.
While some protestors marched across the city's streets with drums and bangs as part of a four-day climate action, other rebels staged a 'die-in' outside the bank.
The group created a police cordon around the entrance to the building while ‘victims’ holding XR flags laid on the pavement.

At least 20 demonstrators pretended to be dead to highlight HSBC's involvement in climate change by funding fossil fuels.
A similar action was also staged outside Barclays Bank in Oxford in August.
Campaigners from XR Abingdon branch will join other 'rebels' in a 'peaceful blockade' outside the UK Parliament tomorrow.
