With the beginning of the new trial, Climate Collective expresses once again its solidarity and support to the climate activists Stine and Tannie that are [were] facing charges in relation to the ‘Reclaim Power! Pushing for Climate Justice’ action that took place during the protests against COP15 in 2009. Stine and Tannie acted as spokespersons for the Climate Justice Action (CJA) network, communicating and explaining the Reclaim Power! action to the media. Reclaim Power was built and planned on consensus in open, international meetings that took place before and during COP15 in Copenhagen. Climate Collective finds it outrageous that two activists are made responsible for the actions of an entire movement.
(…)
It has finished today Stine and Tannie’s court case that had been appealed to the second level of court [just below supreme court]. The two CJA spokespersons have been sentenced to two months jail plus two months probation, and to pay the costs of court.
