A district judge acquitted the 21-year-old at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
A district judge has thrown out a public order charge against climate campaigner Greta Thunberg after police attempted to impose “unlawful” conditions during an environment protest.
The 21-year-old, from Sweden, was arrested during a demonstration near the InterContinental Hotel in Mayfair, London, on October 17 as oil executives met inside for a conference.
Miss Thunberg pleaded not guilty to breaching Section 14 of the Public Order Act 1986 alongside two Fossil Free London (FFL) protesters and two Greenpeace activists.
At Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday, District Judge John Law said conditions imposed on protesters were “so unclear that it is unlawful” which meant “anyone failing to comply were actually committing no offence”.
