<p>The Malmo District Court ordered her to pay a 2,250 kroner (£169) fine.</p>
<p>Ms Thunberg, who already had been fined for a similar offence, took part in a July 24 environmental protest at an oil terminal in Malmo, where activists temporarily blocked access to the facility by sitting down and were removed by police.</p>
<p>On September 15, she was charged with disobedience to law enforcement for refusing to obey police asking her to leave the scene.</p>
<p>She then was dragged away by two uniformed officers.</p>
<p>Ms Thunberg, 20, has admitted to the facts but denied guilt, saying the fight against the fossil fuel industry was a form of self-defence due to the existential and global threat of the climate crisis.</p>

<p>After the verdict, she said: “We have the science on our side and we have morality on our side.</p>
<p>“Nothing in the world can change that and so it is. I am ready to act based on the conditions that exist and whether it leads to more sentences.”</p>
<p>On June 24, the same court fined her 2,500 kronor (£188) for refusing to obey police orders when taking part in a similar demonstration the previous month.</p>
<p>During that protest, she and others blocked access to the same oil terminal days earlier and were removed by police.</p>
<p>On Thursday, the Swede is due to travel to neighbouring Norway to take part in a protest with activists, including Indigenous Sami.</p>
<p>They are protesting a wind farm of 151 turbines and want it removed because they say it endangers the reindeer herders’ way of life.</p>
<p>The activists say a transition to green energy should not come at the expense of the rights of Indigenous people.</p>
<p>Two years ago, Norway’s Supreme Court ruled that the construction of the turbines had violated the rights of the Sami, who have used the land for reindeer for centuries.</p>
<p>The Norwegian government has no plans to remove the wind farm.</p>
<p>Ms Thunberg inspired a global youth movement demanding stronger efforts to fight climate change after staging weekly protests outside the Swedish Parliament starting in 2018.</p>
