The demonstrations in Oslo have now been going on for a week.

It was on Thursday last week that the first Sami youth entered the Ministry of Oil and Energy and refused to leave the building until the wind turbines at Fosen in Norway were demolished.

The Norwegian Supreme Court, the equivalent of the Supreme Court, has ruled that the wind farm is against indigenous rights.

But despite that, the entire wind farm remains standing more than 500 days after the verdict.

The police on their way

On the night of Monday, the young people were carried out of the ministry building and since then they have been helped by visiting protesters.

Among other things, Greta Thunberg has been on site all week.

And just like every other day, on Thursday they sat at the entrances to the Norwegian ministries to prevent employees from entering.

- We have asked the police to remove protesters at four ministries, says press spokesperson Espen Evensen to NRK.

The police expect that they will have to carry the activists away.

- We expect the same development as in the past few days, says Rune Hekkelstrand, the police operations manager, to NRK.

Gets help from Greenpeace

Around ten activists have also chained themselves to the entrance to the Ministry of Culture during the morning.

They have hung a large banner on the facade of the Ministry of Oil and Energy.

Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen, who acted as spokesperson for the activists all week, says that they are now also getting help from Greenpeace.

However, it is unclear exactly what they are doing on site.

Meeting between the Sami Parliament and the government

During the week, the activists have received support from the Sami Parliament on both the Swedish and Norwegian sides.

During the day, the President of the Sami Parliament Silje Karine Muotka (NSR) will have a meeting with representatives of the Norwegian government.

She will then make the same demands as the young people that the wind farm be demolished.

- I expect the department to take seriously the demand that this violation of human rights cease, she says in a press release that was sent out earlier this week.

At the same time, reindeer herders from Fosen, those who in practice have been affected by the wind turbines, are also expected to come to Oslo during the day.
