The Copenhagen District Court has found Stine Gry Jonassen and Tannie Nyboe guilty on charges of being organisers and instigators of violence and vandalism. The incident took place on 16th of December at Bella Center last year during the climate summit in Copenhagen. The two women were sentenced to four months of probation.
One of the judges disagreed with the verdict and thought the accused should be acquitted of all charges. Stine Gry and Tannie Nyboe both acted as spokespersons for the Global Network "Climate Justice Action" (CJA).
