This is reported by Reuters with reference to the TT news agency.
Thunberg confirmed that she participated in the protest and disobeyed police orders, but pleaded not guilty and said that these actions were necessary.
"My actions are justified. I believe that we are in an emergency situation that threatens life, health and property. Countless people and communities are at risk in both the short and long term,” she noted.
The fine will be based on Thunbergʼs reported income. It is not yet known how much she will have to pay.
