OSLO, Feb 27 (Reuters) – Environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg and dozens of other activists on Monday blocked entrances to Norway’s energy ministry, protesting against wind turbines built on land traditionally used by indigenous Sami reindeer herders.
Norway’s supreme court in 2021 ruled that two wind farms built in central Norway violated Sami rights under international conventions, but the turbines remain in operation more than 16 months later. “I am here to support the struggle for human rights and indigenous rights,” Thunberg told Reuters while sitting outside the ministry’s main entrance with other demonstrators. https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/thunberg-other-protesters-block-norway-energy-ministry-over-wind-farms-2023-02-27/?rpc=401&
