OLG wins acquittal for climate activists. Case of a 32-year-old was heard, who was acquitted in November 2022 after he took part in several road blockades organized by the “Last Generation Uprising’ alliance.
According to the district court, the actions as such were not reprehensible and therefore not punishable. This would only have been the case if he had endangered other road users. The public prosecutor's office appealed against this legal assessment. New findings would now have to be made by another chamber of a district court.
