The six climate activists broke into two peat bogs in Sävsjö municipality last summer.
The activists, who have denied committing a crime, have admitted to participating in a climate action that aimed to prevent runoff and thereby stop further oxidation and emissions by filling in ditches.
The district court acquits them of trespassing, citing that the bogs are places "where one has the right to stay, in principle, with the support of the right of public access", writes Dagens Juridik.
They are also acquitted of vandalism, as the soil they moved, according to the district court, cannot be considered destroyed.
The court notes that the right of public access does not entail the right to disrupt legal activities conducted on the bogs, but that "the potential usurpation they are guilty of is not covered by the prosecutor's description of the offence".
