Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is being prosecuted in Finland for disobedience to the authorities, reports Helsingin Sanomat.

It was during a climate demonstration in Helsinki in the summer of 2024 that the police had to carry Thunberg away after the protesters did not listen and blocked traffic.

Generally speaking, the courts in the case have not required defendants to appear in person during the trials, which suggests that Thunberg does not have to travel to Helsinki if she does not want to.

Most of the protesters have been sentenced to daily fines, according to Helsingin Sanomat.
