A short statement by Swedish prosecutors on Wednesday said a 'young woman' was charged with disobedience because she 'refused to comply with police orders to leave the scene' during the protest.
Prosecutors have charged climate activist Greta Thunberg with disobedience to law enforcement in connection with a protest in Malmö, Sweden, last month.
Local newspaper Sydsvenskan reported Wednesday that Thunberg and other activists were detained after they stopped traffic in the oil terminal of the port in Malmö on June 19. A short statement by Swedish prosecutors on Wednesday said a"young woman" was charged with disobedience because she"refused to comply with police orders to leave the scene" during the protest. The statement didn't identify the woman, but Swedish Prosecution Authority spokeswoman Annika Collin confirmed that it was Thunberg.
Sydsvenskan said the 20-year-old Swedish activist will be called to trial at the end of July. Prosecutor Charlotte Ottosen told the paper that the crime of disobedience is typically punishable with fines.Protests have been an essential part of Thunberg's climate activism since she rose to international prominence in 2018 when she was 15 years old, and she has been detained by police several times in the past.
