Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been charged with a crime that could carry a jail sentence after her latest protest.

Thunberg was among those arrested after a June 19 protest in the Swedish city of Malmo, according to the Daily Mail.

“We blocked the port in order to stop the use of fossil fuels that are killing innocent people,” she said.

“The real crimes continue inside the gate of the port. We are not going to sit and wait while the fossil fuel industry takes our dreams away from us.”

Asked about the charge against her, she replied, “I personally am more worried about the horrible harm the fossil fuel industry is doing to the world. I’m not going to stop while they are threatening the planet.”

In January, during a protest against a coal mine in Germany, Thunberg was carried away from a protest site by police.

German police later rejected claims that the officers carrying Thunberg away was a staged event, according to the BBC.

In February, Thunberg was among those blocking the entrance to Norway’s energy ministry in Oslo in a protest against a wind farm that protesters claimed violated the rights of indigenous people.
