Following a series of Extinction Rebellion protests in Oslo that took place in August 2025, 67 out of a total of 85 activists were fined by authorities. These protests aimed to demand the phase-out of oil and gas, leading to significant disturbances and property damage. The total amount of fines issued by the police reached one million kroner, as confirmed by prosecutor Cecilie Hagen in an email to VG.

The protests featured notable actions at key locations such as the Norges Bank and DNB’s main office on Karl Johans gate, mobilizing activists from ten different countries, including Swedish figure Greta Thunberg. The legal repercussions emphasize the authorities' stance against such disruptive demonstrations, which reportedly mainly involved violations of police orders and disturbances of public order, alongside instances of property damage.

In essence, the fines imposed on Extinction Rebellion activists reflect ongoing tensions between environmental activism and law enforcement, signaling a potential crackdown on similar protests in the future. As climate activism intensifies globally, the outcomes of these cases could influence both activist strategies and the responses of governments and law enforcement agencies in Norway and beyond.
