Climate activist Greta Thunberg was fined by a Stockholm court for disobeying police orders during a protest outside Sweden's parliament. Thunberg and fellow activists blocked access to the parliament's main entrance in March, prompting police intervention. The court imposed a fine of 6,000 Swedish kronor ($551) and ordered Thunberg to pay 1,000 kronor in damages and interest. Thunberg, known for her climate activism, defended her actions, citing the urgency of the climate crisis. This isn't the first time Thunberg has faced legal repercussions for her civil disobedience, having been fined twice before in Sweden.
