Greta Thunberg Shuns COP29, Calls for Protests Against Azerbaijan Human Rights Abuses
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prominent climate activist Greta Thunberg announced she is not attending
COP29 over Azerbaijan's climate and human rights record. She is calling
for protests tonight in Tbilisi, Georgia, where she has been meeting
with local activists. Thunberg wrote on social media, "Azerbaijan, using
COP29 as a façade, is ramping up control under a false 'green' agenda,
tightening its grip on power, and escalating regional tensions."

Democracy Now! will be reporting live from COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan,
next week, from November 18 to 22. Tune in to democracynow.org.
