Swedish police on Tuesday forcibly removed Greta Thunberg and other climate change activists who were blocking the entrance to parliament for a second day.
Two police officers lifted Thunberg and dragged her to the ground, about 65 feet from the door she was blocking.
Thunberg and dozens of other environmental activists began blocking the main entrance to Sweden’s parliament on Monday in a sit-in protest against the effects of climate change and political inaction.
The activists left on Monday afternoon but returned to the protest on Tuesday morning.
Thunberg, 21, has become the face of young climate change activists since the weekly protests that began outside the Swedish parliament in 2018 have quickly grown into a global youth movement with massive rallies across continents. became.
Last year, Thunberg was detained by police or excluded from protests in countries including Sweden, Norway and Germany.
