Martin Smedjeback from Västerås participated in a climate manifestation together with the activist group Extinction Rebellion in central Stockholm in August last year. The police, who considered that the purpose was to block traffic and public order, issued a public order order to the people blocking the intersection.
About 40 activists did not comply with the request and had to be taken away by the police. It is disobeying a security officer because he had been aware of the rules that apply to blockades at the time.
