Three Charged After Listhaug Protest

Published: 2024-11-15

Three individuals have been charged following a demonstration against Sylvi Listhaug, leader of the Progress Party (Frp), in Oslo.

The incident occurred in March 2024 when pro-Palestinian activists followed Listhaug to the Stortinget, allegedly attempting to influence her politically.

The demonstrators, who deny any wrongdoing, were arrested by the Police Security Service (PST) in April.

Their defense argues that their actions were a form of free speech, highlighting concerns over democracy and freedom of expression.

Listhaug described the event as her most threatening experience as a politician, expressing trust in the ongoing police investigation.
