Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who rose to international fame several years ago after her passionate rebuke of world leaders on climate issues, was accused last month of helping coordinate an international criminal conspiracy against India after details about her working relationship with a young, agitational climate activist in India were discovered.

Thunberg, 18, worked with 22-year-old Indian climate activist Disha Ravi to circulate a “toolkit” for hundreds of thousands of majority-Sikh Indian farmers, who since November have been protesting new agricultural laws they say will irreparably damage their livelihoods and be a boon to large corporations.
