NORWAY: Some 20 activists have been charged after they blocked several entrances to government offices in protest at a wind farm that they say hinders the rights of the Sami indigenous people to raise reindeer, their lawyer said today.

The VG newspaper said they had been charged because they did not accept the fines they had received after having been forcefully removed by police. They face trial in Oslo in March.
