Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is on trial in London along with four colleagues. The prosecution accuses the 21-year-old and the four men of disturbing public order.
They were temporarily arrested in October 2023 during a demonstration against a meeting of energy managers in the British capital. The defendants pleaded not guilty at a hearing in November. If convicted, they face a fine. A verdict is expected to come this Friday at the earliest. “Climate protest is not a crime,” read one poster.
