Defiant Greta Thunberg hauled away by Swedish police hours after receiving fine
Hours after appearing at Malmo District Court she was sat on the road leading to an oil terminal at a Swedish port as part of a new protest.
Thunberg was carried away by police after blocking the road and putting out a sign which read 'I block tanker trucks'. Earlier, defending her role in a protest at the oil terminal on June 19, she told the court: "My actions are justifiable. According to the Sydsvenskan newspaper she told the hearing. "I believe that we are in an emergency that threatens life, health and property. Countless people and communities are at risk both in the short term and in the long term.
"It's correct that I was at that place on that day, and it's correct that I received an order that I didn't listen to, but I want to deny the crime," she told the court when asked about the charge against her.Greta Thunberg entering court in Malmo.
