Greta Thunberg is facing a charge of obedience to law enforcement connected to a protest in Sweden.
Authorities arrested the famed Swedish climate activist and others during a June 19 demonstration at a port in Malmö, during which the protesters disrupted oil traffic, local media reported.
Swedish prosecutors on Wednesday announced they charged a young woman—later identified as Thunberg—because she “refused to comply with police orders” during the port protest, according to the Associated Press. The crime is typically punished with fines.
