Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was released by German police on Tuesday evening after being detained earlier in the day at a protest over the expansion of a coal mine in the western village of Lützerath, police confirmed to CNN on Wednesday. ”Thunberg was only briefly detained. Once identity was established, she was free to go,” Max Wilmes, police spokesman in the city of Aachen, told CNN. ”Due to the recognition of her name, police sped up the identification process,” Wilmes said.
On Saturday, she joined thousands of people demonstrating against the razing of the village. Addressing the activists at the protest, Thunberg said, “The carbon is still in the ground. And as long as the carbon is in the ground, this struggle is not over.” Hüls said Thunberg had “surprisingly” returned to protest on Sunday, when she was detained for the first time, and then again on Tuesday. The expansion of the coal mine is significant for climate activists.
