Popular Post Social Media Posted April 6 Popular Post Share Posted April 6 Climate activist Greta Thunberg found herself in the custody of Dutch police during a demonstration in The Hague, where she joined hundreds of activists calling for climate action. The detention occurred after Thunberg, along with around 100 protesters, attempted to block a major highway leading into the city as part of the Extinction Rebellion campaign. The A12 highway, a focal point for activists demanding an end to fossil fuel subsidies, has been a site of repeated protests in recent months. Despite a heavy police presence initially preventing activists from accessing the road, some managed to sit down on another route and were subsequently detained after disregarding police orders to disperse. Thunberg, known for her unwavering climate advocacy, was escorted onto a police bus alongside other demonstrators. Despite the circumstances, she was seen flashing a victory sign as the bus departed the scene. The Extinction Rebellion campaign group had announced plans to block the main highway into The Hague as part of their ongoing efforts to raise awareness about climate change. This incident adds to Thunberg's history of civil disobedience in pursuit of climate action. In February, she was acquitted by a London court after refusing to follow a police order to leave a protest outside an oil and gas industry conference. Thunberg's activism, which began with solitary protests outside the Swedish parliament in 2018, has since inspired a global youth movement demanding urgent action to address the climate crisis. Despite facing fines in both Sweden and the UK for her activism, Thunberg remains resolute in her commitment to raising awareness about climate change and advocating for stronger measures to combat it. 07.04.24 Source 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, probably not. The UK government has introduced some very draconian laws limiting freedom to protest, and absolutely disproportionate sentencing for having the temerity to stand up against government and big business, so it is quite possible that if she falls foul of those laws in the UK in the future, she too could end up in jail for years for speaking the truth. Fears over right to protest after woman with sign at climate trial prosecuted Civil liberty campaigners have warned that the prosecution of a woman for holding up a placard about the rights of jurors outside a court is part of the government’s increasing attacks on the right to protest. 1 2 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was standing outside a Court trying to influence the Judges decision in a Court case . She was interfering with the justice system , jury knobbling as they call it .

Any juror that assumes that a protesters sign accurately states the law should be disqualified for gross stupidity. The judge is the one that will instruct the jury on what the law is. 1 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learns are learnt from studying in Universities , laws are nor learnt from people holding up signs in the streets . If Jurors don't know the law, then there are legal people in Court to inform them of the law and there's also avenues to appeal decisions Edited April 7 by Nick Carter icp 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is willing compliance such as yours that allows government corruption to exist. Germany didn't become fascist overnight. It took people like you, actively defending the erosion of public rights, thus emboldening the government to remove more and more liberties. There should never be restrictions on facts, especially when it's governments or the judiciary doing the restricting. 1 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judges inside the Court know the laws , its never been allowed to stand outside Courts telling the Jurors what to do . So you agree that Tommy Robinson should be allowed to stand outside Courts shouting at the jurors and Judges ? Its a rather large step to take from banning people from standing outside Courts with placards to another Hitler taking over and the UK becoming the 4 th Reich 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your name was Jane Average - Commoner, then "Yes." The UK legal system would hammer you.
