How It's Done

This is how you do it, BTW. There's been some snarky japery online about how Thunberg was joking with the cops and kinda jockeying for good camera angles - implying she wasn't serious about it and so that proved she was "just doing it for the publicity".

Well - yeah - that's how you do this kinda thing. You're not there looking to pick a fight. You're not there to hurt anybody, or to get hurt. You're there to bring a little attention to what you think is an injustice of some kind.

Getting arrested is part of the deal.

It may seem a little weird that there are rules on how you go about breaking the rules, but that's how civilized honorable people behave.



Greta Thunberg detained by the Norwegian police
during pro-Sami protest this Wednesday, March 1


OSLO (Reuters) -Environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg was twice detained during a demonstration in support of Indigenous rights in Oslo on Wednesday, with police removing her and other activists from the finance ministry and later the environment ministry.

Thunberg had on Monday joined protesters demanding the removal of 151 wind turbines from reindeer pastures used by Sami herders in central Norway. They say a transition to green energy should not come at the expense of Indigenous rights.

The demonstrators have in recent days blocked access to some government buildings, putting the centre-left minority government in a crisis mode and prompting Energy Minister Terje Aasland to call off an official visit to Britain.

Norway's supreme court ruled in 2021 that the turbines, erected on two wind farms at Fosen and part of Europe's largest onshore wind power complex, violated Sami rights under international conventions, but they remain in operation more than 16 months later.
