STOCKHOLM, Sept 15, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg

will face another trial at the end of September, Malmo's public prosecutor
said Friday, charged with "resisting arrest" at a July protest.

Police forcibly removed the 20-year-old campaigner from a climate rally in
the Swedish port city on July 24.

"The protest was unauthorised and led to traffic being blocked. The young
woman refused to obey police order to leave the site," said prosector Isabel
Ekberg.

"This is therefore a case of refusal to comply."

Hours before the July rally, Thunberg received a court fine after a short
trial and conviction for disobeying police at a previous protest at the same
port on 19 June.

The rally, organised by environmental activist group Reclaim the Future,
tried to block the entrance and exit to the busy port to protest against the
use of fossil fuels.

The date for Thunberg's new trial has been set for September 27.

The activist shot to global fame after starting her "School Strike for the
Climate" in front of Sweden's parliament in Stockholm at the age of 15.

In addition to her climate strikes, the young activist regularly lambasts
governments and politicians for not properly addressing climate issues.
