Famed climate activist Greta Thunberg has been charged with disobeying police in Sweden after she participated last month in a protest that aimed to block fuel transports, according to local media.

The 20-year-old Swedish native and at least one other climate activist are being prosecuted for refusing to obey law enforcement when they were ordered on June 19 to halt their blockade of oil tankers in Malm, according to an indictment obtained Wednesday by Sydsvenskan , a daily newspaper based in southern Sweden.

Today, for the third day in a row, young activists blocked oil tankers in the Malm oil harbour, Thunberg wrote on Instagram two days before police forcibly removed her and other demonstrators.

The climate crisis is already a matter of life and death for countless people. We choose to not be bystanders, and instead physically stop the fossil fuel infrastructure. We are reclaiming the future.
