Greta Thunberg Detained in Climate Protest

Published: 2024-03-12

Greta Thunberg, alongside other climate activists, was detained by police during a climate protest in front of the parliament building.

For two consecutive days, the group blocked entrances to the building to draw political attention to climate issues.

Thunberg, among others, was physically removed from the site by police and later taken away in a police vehicle.

The activists, lacking permission for their demonstration, are now facing charges for disobedience.

Thunberg criticized the law for protecting corporations over people's well-being and emphasized the right to demonstrate as a fundamental aspect of democracy.
