Greta Thunberg was on trial for disturbing public order during an action in London. The 21-year-old environmental activist was with four other demonstrators.
They had participated in a demonstration against the hydrocarbon industry. Judge ruled that the police officers responsible for securing the demonstration had imposed “unlawful’ conditions and had not been sufficiently precise in addressing their instructions to the activists. “Today’s verdict (Friday) is a victory for the freedom to demonstrate. It is ridiculous that more and more climate activists are ending up in court,” Greenpeace said.
