The Hill shared these details:

German authorities detained Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg on Tuesday amid protests at a coal mine in the country.

A spokesperson for the local Aachen police told Sky News the 20-year-old activist was among a group of protesters who allegedly “stormed” toward the face of the Garzweiler open-cast mine, which officials described as “steep and extremely dangerous.”

According to multiple reports, authorities said at least one protester jumped into the mine, while not detailing whether the individual suffered any injuries.

Thunberg was carried away from the area by several police officers, Reuters reported, adding she was later seen sitting alone inside a police bus.

CNN got the scoop too:

Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been detained by German police at a protest over the expansion of a coal mine in the west German village of Lützerath.

This is the second time Thunberg has been detained at the site, police spokesperson Christof Hüls told CNN Tuesday. She was part of a large group of protesters that broke through a police barrier and encroached on a coal pit, which authorities have not been able to secure entirely, Hüls said.

After the group advanced on the coal pit, police were concerned that the “masses of protesters” could set the ground in motion after it had been softened by rainfall during the last few days. Officers intervened, removing people from the “danger area” and detaining them, one of whom was Thunberg, according to police.

The only bad thing about her arrest is the left will now act as if she is a martyr.
