The young Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg was sentenced by the Swedish Justice to pay a fine of 2,500 Swedish crowns (R$ 1,135, approximately), after disobeying police orders. The activist was participating in a protest on June 19, and refused to leave the scene.
At the time, Greta was trying, along with other activists, to stop traffic at the terminal Petroleum from the port of Malmö, protesting against the use of fossil fuels.

Authorities ordered her to leave the premises, which she refused. However, hours after the incident, she was detained again by police at another protest.
Last Monday (24), the hearing at the Malmö District Court took place, in which Thunberg defended himself against the accusations: “It is It is correct that I was in that place that day, and it is correct that I received an order that I did not heed, but I want to deny the crime”, reported.
The court is reportedly allocating SEK 1000 from the fine the activist will pay to a Swedish crime victims fund. Still in her speeches, Thunberg guarantees that she was forced to act in this way, due to the global climate crisis.
Greta Thunberg became world famous in 2018, aged 15, when she started to protest in front of the Parliament of Sweden, demanding more incisive measures for the defense of the environment and climate change. The action went viral on social networks, as, during the time, the general elections were starting in Sweden.
With that, Greta began to serve as an inspiration to thousands of young people who started to follow her example. She missed class every Friday to carry out the protests, which inspired the “Fridays for Future” movement (in free translation, ‘Fridays for the Future’).
Since then, Thunberg has become involved in other activist movements, always calling for more attention to climate change and its consequences.
In her “career”, Greta has attended several important events, such as the World Economic Forum, the European Parliament, the UN Climate Summit, among many others.
