German police arrested Greta Thunberg during a protest against the expansion of a coal mine in the town of Lützerath on Tuesday.
Thunberg was among a group of activists who were reportedly rushing toward the mine’s opening when she was detained by security services.
“Greta Thunberg was part of a group of activists who rushed towards the ledge. However, she was then stopped and carried by us with this group out of the immediate danger area to establish their identity,” local police said in a statement.
Police said Thunberg and her fellow protesters would be released without being charged.
Thousands of climate activists have recently made their way to Lützerath, located near the Belgium-German border, to prevent the razing of the town to make way for the planned construction of a new coal mine. Protesters made makeshift treehouses and watchtowers to barricade themselves against police enforcement attempts to remove them.
Over 1,000 police officers descended on Lützerath this week, as an estimated 15,000 to 35,000 protesters traveled to the mining town to take part in demonstrations.
However, German public opinion has moved behind the project as the war in Ukraine has undermined Europe’s energy access and independence. Even members of Germany’s Green Party have defended the development of national coal resources, including in Lützerath, despite the mass protests.

Did she walk to the protest or drive?

Her parents owe humanity bigtime.
It's Jordan Peterson talking about her, but someone else compiled the video. Still relevant, though.
I initially thought the same, a Mime protest! Of course, Greta can’t keep her mouth shut and would never be a mime.
Send her for a psychiatric evaluation
You mean she wasn’t at Devos?
Is DeVos in Davos?
Why did they stop her?
RE: Why is Greta not in Davos
That was probably part of her itinerary since it’s just in the neighboring country until her arrest.
Germany shut down its nuclear power plants and is replacing them with coal power.
I call Greta ‘Scoldilocks’.
Please say we have no one to trade! she’s much happier there. They can keep her. She’s good at looking mean, too.
Did they take her to jail in the short prison bus?
It was a staged photo op.
She was arrested for impersonating a sane person.
Turned out it was a staged arrest and there are pictures out there to prove it, I saw them on Twitter.
