Swedish Police Remove Greta Thunberg & Other Climate Activists Blocking Parliament

HeadlineMar 12, 2024

In Sweden, police have forcibly removed climate activist Greta Thunberg and dozens of other environmental protesters who were blocking the entrance to the Swedish parliament for a second day. Greta Thunberg spoke at the action.

Greta Thunberg: “Right now we are a group of young people who are blocking entrances to the Swedish parliament, the Riksdag, to protest against the ongoing destruction of our life-supporting systems and of people already been killed as a result of the climate crisis. And that needs to come to an end. We have had enough.”
