"#GretaThunberg said on Thursday people should remember who "the real enemy is" after she and four other environmental activists appeared in #court charged with a public order offence at a protest outside an oil and gas conference."
"[Judge] Law said that the police could have taken less restrictive measures, didn’t properly define where protesters should move and the order to disperse that was given was “so unclear that it was unlawful,” and those who didn’t comply committed no offense.
The judge said that he would grant defense lawyer Raj Chada's request for the government to pay his legal fees and Thunberg's travel costs after they submit those bills. "
The ridiculousness of the charge on Greta Thunberg is a reflection of how hard the UK - and other countries - have cracked down on climate activists.
Labeling activists as "terrorists" even if all they do is sit down on the road is - um - over-reacting a bit?
Here is a thread on activists being labeled "radical" whereas, as Thunberg has pointed out, we must not lose track of WHO is radical, criminal, and "the enemy".
