"UK Judge Clears Greta Thunberg and Climate Protesters of Charges"

TL;DR Summary
Greta Thunberg and four other activists have been cleared of a public order offence for protesting outside an oil and gas conference in London last year, with a judge ruling that the police had imposed "unlawful" conditions during the environmental protest. Thunberg, who gained global prominence for her climate activism, had pleaded not guilty to breaching a public order law. The court's decision was hailed as a victory for the right to protest, with Greenpeace UK calling it "ridiculous" that climate activists are being prosecuted while fossil fuel companies continue to profit from selling climate-wrecking fuels.
