Greta Thunberg, whose name is an anagram for Green Thugbrat may face six months in prison:

Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been charged with disobeying police in Sweden last month during a port blockade.

Thunberg, 20, joined a group of young protesters as they stopped oil tankers from entering and exiting the port in Malmö.

On Wednesday, the Swedish newspaper Sydsvenskan reported that she was detained on June 19, along with an unspecified number of other activists, for refusing to leave the scene when asked to do so by officers.

She could face up to six months in prison or a fine if convicted.
