The media reported on the initiation of a criminal case against Greta Thunberg
A criminal case has been opened in Finland against Swedish eco-activist Greta Thunberg. This was reported by the local newspaper Helsingin Sanomat (HS).
According to HS, Thunberg was suspected of opposing the guards. The violation occurred at the Extinction Rebellion demonstration in the center of Helsinki on June 25, 2024.
The charge sent to the Helsinki District Court says that the protesters organized a procession that was supposed to pass through Kaivokata in the city center to the Kaisaniemi roundabout, but the police left it at the intersection of the main capital's Mannerheiming Street.
The demonstrators were ordered to stop their demonstration and leave the street. Those who disobeyed, including Thunberg, were taken to the police station.
According to the newspaper, in recent years, the courts have considered hundreds of charges related to the Extinction Rebellion demonstrations. The vast majority of the charges relate to disobeying the police, which Thunberg is also accused of.
On November 22, activists of the environmental movement Extinction Rebellion held a rally in Venice, pouring a coloring agent into the Grand Canal, as a result of which the water turned a bright green color. Swedish eco-activist Greta Thunberg took part in the protest. On the Rialto Bridge, she and other activists poured paint into the canal in an attempt to draw attention to environmental issues. The next day, The Telegraph newspaper reported that activists of the Extinction Rebellion environmental movement, led by Greta Thunberg, were fined €150 and banned from entering Venice for 48 hours after the protest.
The governor of the Veneto region, Luca Zaia, said that such actions do not contribute to the protection of the environment, but on the contrary, harm it and damage the city, forcing additional water purification work.
