Greta Thunberg, a renowned environmental campaigner, has been charged with a public order offence in connection with a protest that took place in London yesterday.
The Fossil Free London group, which Thunberg is a part of, had gathered outside of a central London hotel where oil executives were meeting. The group was demanding that the oil companies remove their money from politics and that they stop deliberately slowing the global energy transition to renewables.
The protesters were also pointing out how the President of the UN Climate Conference this year is also the CEO of an oil company. With the aim of blocking access to the InterContinental Hotel on Park Lane, the protesters sat and stood on the pavement by the entrance.
