Greta Thunberg Faces Court for Climate Protest Disobedience
Climate activist Greta Thunberg is set to appear in a Swedish court on a charge of disobeying police during a climate protest in Malmö last month. Thunberg and other activists were detained after stopping traffic at an oil terminal. The crime of disobedience is typically punishable with fines, according to the prosecutor. Thunberg gained global recognition for her weekly protests outside the Swedish Parliament, inspiring a youth movement demanding stronger action against climate change.
