Greta Thunberg Fined for Blocking Swedish Parliament in Climate Protest

The Swedish court imposed a fine on the activist for civil disobedience during a sit-in against political inaction on climate change.

  • Thunberg was fined 6,000 Swedish kronor for ignoring police orders during two protests in March.
  • This marks Thunberg's third fine in Sweden for similar acts of civil disobedience aimed at highlighting climate issues.
  • In court, Thunberg defended her actions by emphasizing the ongoing climate emergency and the need for urgent action.
  • Despite the legal repercussions, Thunberg remains a prominent figure in the global 'Fridays for Future' movement she initiated.
  • The activist's stance challenges the current laws that she argues favor extractive industries over environmental protection.
