SWEDEN: Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg has come out in support of Disha Ravi, an environmental activist arrested in the toolkit case. Taking it to Twitter, Greta said that freedom of speech and right to peaceful protest are non-negotiable human rights.

'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 wrote.
