The climate activist Greta Thunberg is due to appear in court in late July after being charged with refusing to obey police orders during an anti-oil protest in the Swedish port city of Malmö last month, local media have reported.

The charge, believed to be Thunberg’s first, comes after the 20-year-old climate campaigner joined a six-day protest organised by the environmental group Take Back the Future at the city’s oil terminal on 19 June.
