A judge in Lausanne, Switzerland has acquitted a group of youth protesters on trespassing charges and waived fines of CHf 21,600 (US$22,200) per person, ruling their actions were “necessary and proportional” to the “imminent danger” of climate change.

The youth had occupied Credit Suisse offices and staged mock tennis matches in November 2018 to protest grand slam champion Roger Federer’s sponsorship deal with the fossil-friendly bank.
