Climate activist Tina Kronberg has been sentenced to two months in prison for her involvement in a protest at Malmö Airport in April 2025, according to reports from Swedish media. The 34-year-old from Höör was part of a demonstration organized by the environmental group Återställ Våtmarker (Restore Wetlands), during which she and another activist chained themselves to a pole on the airport runway.
The protest took place on the afternoon of April 18, 2025, when the activists reportedly cut through a fence to access the runway area. They locked themselves to a pole to protest against Sweden's climate policy and peat extraction practices. Kronberg, who has been active in climate activism first with Extinction Rebellion and later with Återställ Våtmarker, expressed no regret for her actions.

In a statement reported by Skånska Dagbladet, Kronberg said that spending two months in prison 'feels like a drop in the ocean compared to all the suffering that the climate crisis contributes to.' She told Arbetaren that she is proud to act as the climate collapse approaches. The organization Återställ Våtmarker was founded in 2022 and has gained attention for its direct action climate protests across Sweden.
