In a growing trend of legal attacks aimed at silencing NGOs and civil society organisations, a North Dakota jury has ordered Greenpeace to pay over $660 million to an oil company for its alleged role in the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. The verdict threatens to bankrupt the environmental group and end over 50 years of climate activism.
The lawsuit stems from protests near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation — one of the largest Indigenous-led environmental movements in U.S. history.
Greenpeace has vowed to appeal, calling the case a dangerous threat to free speech and the right to protest in defense of people and the planet.
