Greta Thunberg is facing a public order offense charge following her arrest during a protest organized by Fossil Free London. The 20-year-old activist is alleged to have violated a Section 14 order implemented by the police outside the InterContinental Hotel on Park Lane, where an Energy Intelligence Forum event with oil executives was taking place.
Ms. Thunberg was one of many protesters who gathered to voice their objections to the Energy Intelligence Forum event. The Metropolitan Police reported a total of 27 protesters were arrested, with 26 of them being charged.
A trial has been scheduled for Greta Thunberg on November 15th, and she has been released on bail.
The Metropolitan Police explained that they enforced the Section 14 conditions under the Public Order Act to prevent significant disruptions to the community, hotel, and guests. They had requested the activists to move from the road to the pavement to continue their protest peacefully. However, some protesters did not comply and were subsequently arrested.
Fossil Free London's protest coincided with the first day of the three-day Energy Intelligence Forum, formerly known as the Oil and Money conference, where executives from Shell and Total were slated to speak.
Speaking at the rally, Greta Thunberg criticized politicians for making deals with lobbyists from the fossil fuel industry behind closed doors at the Oil and Money conference. Protesters at the rally blocked Hamilton Place near Park Lane, holding banners, pink umbrellas with painted eyes, and shouting slogans against the conference and the fossil fuel industry.
