Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, charged after a climate action in the Norra hamnen neighbourhood in Malmo, arrives at the District Court in Malmo, Sweden on July 24, 2023. Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg goes on trial on July 24 charged with disobeying police at a rally last month, in which activists blocked the port in the city of Malmo. / Sweden OUT that Thunberg was scathing of her conviction, meaning for the first time in years of protests she now has a criminal record.
Speaking to a considerable gaggle of photographers waiting for her outside the court after the verdict, Thunberg criticised the prosecution, saying that oil companies are the true criminals.
