The activists accuse Sweden of violating freedom of expression and assembly by putting activists on trial, and call the case Rosamålet.
"Swedish prosecutors and judges are violating human rights. The legal persecution of climate protesters violates all fundamental laws and conventions," says the case's representative, Viktor Jonsson, in a press release.
Sweden has been criticized by, among others, the human rights organization Civil Rights Defenders, which last year described "a worrying trend in Sweden, where peaceful protesters are met with increasingly harsh punishments, new serious criminal categories such as sabotage and blue-light sabotage, and charges that can lead to imprisonment."
