Greta Thunberg appears in court after being fined
Climate Activist Greta Thunberg has been fined and is set to appear in Court after disobeying Swedish police.
The 20-year-old climate activists were arrested after protesting against the oil industry.
The Swedish climate activist pleaded not guilty. “My actions are justifiable,” she told the court, according to the Sydsvenskan newspaper.
She was charged with failing to leave when ordered to do so by the police.
“I believe that we are in an emergency that threatens life, health, and property,” she told the court, adding that “countless people” were at risk.
“It’s correct that I was at that place on that day, and it’s correct that I received an order that I didn’t listen to, but I want to deny the crime,” Greta addressed the court when asked about the charge labeled against her.
After a short trial, the court nonetheless found that she was still liable for her actions and sentenced her to pay a fine of 1,500 kronor ($144) plus an additional 1,000 kronor to the Swedish Fund for Victims of Crime.
