The 20-year-old Swedish activist was arrested on Tuesday by the British police.

She was released on bail and will appear in court in London on November 15, police said.

Greta Thunberg is part of a group of 26 people charged in the demonstration, which took place on the sidelines of a conference attended by leaders of major hydrocarbon companies.

We remind you that a few days ago, a Swedish climate activist was charged with disobeying a police order, less than two months after she was convicted and fined for the same crime, Reuters reports.

On July 24, a Swedish court fined 20-year-old Thunberg 1,500 Swedish kroner ($134) for not leaving a protest on police orders. Immediately after the verdict, Thunberg and other activists from the environmental group Reclaim the Future blocked the road for oil trucks in the port of Malmö and were again forcibly removed by the police
