Greta Thunberg Acquitted in London Oil Protest Trial
TL;DR
Greta Thunberg and four co-defendants have been found not guilty of breaking the law during a climate protest in London, as the judge threw out a public order charge due to "no evidence" and criticized the police for imposing "unlawful" conditions. The judge stated that the protest was peaceful and non-violent, and that there was no evidence of any vehicles being impeded or interference with emergency services. Greta Thunberg appeared in court along with other activists, all of whom pleaded not guilty to the same offence.
