New Delhi, Feb 20: Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg on Friday tweeted extending her support to 22-year-old climate activist Disha Ravi, arrested for allegedly being involved in sharing a “toolkit” on social media related to the farmers’ protest.

Taking to Twitter, Greta wrote,”Freedom of speech and the right to peaceful protest and assembly are non-negotiable human rights”. These must be a fundamental part of any democracy, she added, along with the hashtag Stand With Disha Ravi.

Thunberg tagged a post from Friday For Future India, the Indian chapter of the global movement that the Swedish climate activist began in 2018.
