Several climate activists were arrested following a protest at the Finnish embassy in Stockholm on Monday.
Activists from the group 'Restore Wetlands' chained themselves with heavy bike locks and unfurled banners.
Police arrested five people for serious trespassing and vandalism, and another ten are suspected of disobeying police orders.
The protest was against Finnish state-owned company Neova's peat extraction in Sweden, despite phasing out its own with EU support.
