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.

HOW DARE THEY!
😂
She should be put naked in a freezing cell with a coal stove and a pile of coal beside it. Why anyone listens to this mentally ill child is beyond me.
The requisite French Mime emotes his ‘shock’.
Where are the Mime?
There have to be Mimes!
She was spreading ugly
There’s video going around where the cops are standing next to her before they take her away waiting for cameras to get set up. This was 100% for show. Such a crock.
Push her over!
Record her screams!
What's wrong with people not helping us to have fun content.
Waterboard her. That little snowflake will be begging to dig coal with her bare hands in no time.
These people should save the planet and kill themselves. Seriously.
If the heartless and cruel police hit her on the head with a rubber truncheon she may start to babble about illogical and meaningless things. As usual. So impossible to tell if she has a concussion.
RE: need photo....
Will Ingrid Bergman in Joan of Arc do?
She will one day realize the fool she's been and would have been better off dumped in an orphanage on an oatmeal diet and one blanket. A Dickens life builds true character.

Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney made a great documentary on the European anti-mining movement. Its really worth watching.

Take away her phone and she’ll melt like the Witch in the Wizard of Oz.
Why is Greta not in Davos, where her gospel is more acceptable to the attending public?
>>Why anyone listens to this mentally ill child is beyond me<<
She is a very influential child of our accursed time. We are mesmerized by her and her kind.
