Climate activist Greta Thunberg is being charged by Swedish authorities for disobeying police following her refusal to leave a protest blocking oil tankers from entering a port.
Thunberg, 20, was arrested on June 19 along with several other insubordinate protestors after she “refused to obey the police command to leave the scene” of a climate change protest, according to a statement by Swedish prosecutors, per CNN. The report initially did not confirm that Thunberg was the woman in question, but Swedish Prosecution Authority spokeswoman Annika Collin later verified her identity.
The protest was centered on the oil terminal of the port of Malmö, Sweden, with activists stopping all oil tankers for six days straight, according to the New York Post.
