A Swedish court has fined climate activist Greta Thunberg once again for disobeying police during an environmental protest in July in southern Sweden
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg at the Malmo district court in Malmo, Sweden, Wednesday Oct. 11, 2023. Thunberg is charged with disobedience to law enforcement for the second time. A Swedish court on Wednesday fined climate activist Greta Thunberg once again for disobeying police during an environmental protest in July in southern Sweden.
Thunberg, 20, has admitted to the facts but denied guilt, saying the fight against the fossil fuel industry was a form of self-defense due to the existential and global threat of the climate crisis. On June 24, the same court fined her 2,500 kronor for refusing to obey police orders when taking part in a similar demonstration the previous month where she and others blocked access to the same oil terminal days earlier and were removed by police.
