Скачать или смотреть Greta Thunberg arrives at court charged with public order offence

Climate activist Greta Thunberg arrived at a London court on Thursday (February 1) to face trial on a public order offence over a protest outside an oil and gas conference last year.

Thunberg, who became a prominent campaigner worldwide after staging weekly protests in front of the Swedish parliament in 2018, was arrested in October after protesting outside a London hotel where the Energy Intelligence Forum was hosting industry leaders.

Jenine Walker, representative of Good Law Project, which scrutinises changes to the UK legal system, expressed concern over increasingly stringent handling of protests like the one carried out by Greta.

The trial will be conducted by a judge without a jury and is expected to take at least two days. If convicted, they would face a maximum fine of 2,500 pounds
