Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been charged with disobeying a police order during a protest in Sweden.
The 20-year-old environmental campaigner was arrested after allegedly refusing to leave the demonstration in the southern city of Malmo on 19 June.A statement by Swedish prosecutors said a"young woman" - confirmed as Ms Thunberg by the prosecution agency - was charged because she"refused to comply with police orders to leave the scene".
The crime of disobedience is typically punishable with a fine if convicted, but there is a chance the Swede could face up to six months in prison. Ms Thunberg posted on Instagram during the protest saying:"The climate crisis is already a matter of life and death for countless people. "We chose to not be bystanders, and instead physically stop the fossil fuel infrastructure. We are reclaiming the future."
