Agence France-Presse June 10, 2025 Greta Thunberg is being held in a Israeli prison for migrants, her pleas for help from her native Sweden have been met with a blunt reply.
Sweden earlier rejected Thunberg’s request for help, with Foreign Affairs Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard telling media the activist’s supporters had been flooding consular hotlines.
she said outside the Swedish parliament “A great responsibility rests on those who choose to travel contrary to the advice given to a place,” Macron take note
“It is quite dangerous to run a campaign that means that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ consular hotline is called down. “The consequence is that Swedes in need abroad have to wait in line for far too long.
“If she needs consular support, we will do everything we can, just as we do with all Swedish citizens.”
The detainment of Thunberg and her crewmates sparked demonstrations in her homeland of Sweden and across Europe.
