Approximately fifty climate activists are facing charges for illegal trespass after a series of protests at Grimsås moss during the summer of 2025. The protests were organized by the group Återställ våtmarker to oppose the peat extraction activities carried out by the company Neova at the site. The protests included actions such as filling in ditches and obstructing machines from working, which were documented by police using body cameras, providing substantial evidence against the activists.

The charges brought against the activists, as reported by Borås Tidning, pertain to eleven different incidents between July 22 and August 7, 2025. The prosecutor decided to charge the activists with the lesser offense of illegal trespass rather than aggravated illegal entry, following a previous court ruling that did not support severe charges in a similar case. One individual is also facing charges for alleged arbitrary action, further complicating the legal proceedings. Despite acknowledging their actions during these protests, the activists maintain their innocence, citing voluntary rights and self-defense in relation to the ongoing climate crisis.

Last summer, seventeen individuals were sentenced for similar actions at the same location, suggesting a growing tension between activists and the legal system as they continue to challenge corporate activities perceived to harm the environment. The previous conviction from summer 2024 is under appeal, indicating that activists are willing to persist in their fight against corporate practices that they believe threaten critical ecosystems.
