Greta Thunberg and others appear in court over protest to disrupt oil meeting
Protesters outside Westminster Magistrates' Court, London, where Greta Thunberg and four other activists are charged with a public order offence during a protest in central London last year, February 1, 2024

GRETA THUNBERG and four other climate activists appeared in court today as protesters gathered outside in solidarity with the defendants facing charges under the Public Order Act.

The protesters from Fossil Free London (FFL) and Greenpeace attempted to disrupt a meeting by oil executives at the Energy Intelligence Forum at the InterContinental Hotel in Mayfair on October 17.

They all pledged not guilty to breaching Section 14 of the Act, an amendment introduced by former home secretary Suella Braverman and which will face judicial review later this month in a court case by human rights group Liberty.
