On July 24, the activist was fined for disobeying police during a blockade at the same port on June 19.

Alongside her climate protests, the 20-year-old activist regularly attacks political leaders and governments for their inaction on climate issues.
In early August, it canceled its participation in the Edinburgh Book Festival, citing the investments in fossil fuels of one of the event’s sponsors.
