Slovakia: Activists found innocent for peaceful protest
The Regional Directorate of the Police Corps in Trenčín, Criminal Police Department, decided that 12 activists from across Europe, who were peacefully protesting coal mining in the Horná Nitra region of Slovakia, committed no crime.
Greenpeace Slovakia Director, Ivana Kohutková, welcomed the prosecution’s decision:
“The decision to uphold the right to peacefully protest against a polluting mining industry was the right one. We are racing against irreversible climate change and acts of courage, like we saw at the mining tower in Nováky, must be heard and not muzzled.”
