       Six people - including City of Helsinki officials and a machine operator - have been charged with environmental degradation after a protected brook was damaged during logging in Laajasalo in 2023.In the trial, the environmental activists, who tried to stop the logging to protect the brook, were acquitted. The Helsinki District Court ruled that the activists were justified in defying police orders, and their actions likely prevented further environmental harm.This ruling is considered a historic precedent, as the court recognised that protecting nature can, in some cases, justify actions otherwise deemed criminal.News (in finnish): https://www.hs.fi/alueet/art-2000011586455.html#environment #activism #civildisobedience
