Greta Thunberg warned to move before arrest at protest, court told

Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg was given a “final warning” by police before she was arrested for a public order offence, a court has heard.

The 21-year-old was arrested during a demonstration near the InterContinental Hotel in Mayfair on 17 October.

Oil executives had been meeting inside for the Energy Intelligence Forum.

Ms Thunberg appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Thursday after previously denying breaching the Public Order Act 1986.
