Police forced Greta Thunberg to stop blocking Swedish parliament
On March 12th, Swedish police forcibly expelled Greta Thunberg and other climate activists who had been blocking the entrance to parliament for two days, Reuters reports
On March 11th, Thunberg and dozens of other environmental campaigners blocked the main entrances to Sweden's parliament in a sit-in protest against the effects of climate change and, in their words, political inaction.
The activists left in the afternoon but returned to the protest on March 12th in the morning. The publication indicates that two police officers lifted Thunberg from her seat and ‘dragged her some 20 metres from the door she had been obstructing before putting her down on the ground’.
