Police detain climate activist Greta Thunberg at London protest

Greta Thunberg has been detained by UK police at a climate protest outside a London hotel hosting a major oil and gas industry conference. Thunberg was among dozens of protesters who chanted “oily money out” and sought to block access on Tuesday to the Energy Intelligence Forum by sitting on the pavement by the entrance. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/17/police-detain-climate-activist-greta-thunberg-at-london-protest

    Such actions may stifle the voices of those advocating for positive environmental change.

                Uk should instead be the first to champion 🏆 for climate change

                    It's heartbreaking to hear that Greta Thunberg has been detained by UK police. It's important for governments and industries to listen to the concerns of young activists like Greta and take meaningful action towards a more sustainable future.

                      @walter_lungayi It is because they feel challenged by her voicing her opinions and in public.So the only way they think to deal with her is arrest.

                      It doesn't make sense arresting activists. This is a really bad direction for UK - criminalising those who are fighting for our planet
