Sweden charges Greta Thunberg for blockading oil port

[Still Waters]

Climate activist Greta Thunberg will appear in court in July charged with "disobeying the police" during a protest, Swedish prosecutors have said.

Ms Thunberg, 20, joined a group of young protesters blockading oil tankers at a port in Malmö in June. Police said she refused to leave when asked to.

She could face a six-month prison sentence or a fine.

A representative told BBC News that Ms Thunberg was not available for comment.

That is what civil disobedience is about.  You gotta' be willing to do the time.

She was fined.

The fine will be based on Thunberg’s reported income and it was not immediately clear how much she would have to pay, Reuters reported.

Good to see the young people stickin' it to the man, or something.

I don't understand why they are doing such things, I don't think anyone becomes more positive to their cause because of them doing that, they are just making people annoyed.

Totally agree.

It's like campaigning for the council to improve their refuse collection by playing loud music to annoy your neighbours. 

Which is why I still think some of those behind many of these types of climate protests (not necessarily the deluded grunts who carry out the actions) are in the pay of Big Oil.    It's a false flag operation to turn the public against anyone who warns/is concerned about climate change and environmental degradation or, indeed, has more common sense than a dead whelk and doesn't have 10Bn shares in Exxon.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been removed from a protest blocking a road in Malmo, just hours after a Swedish court fined her over a similar action in June.

That’s what you call an active activist.
