China’s “first climate striker” Ou Hongyi was detained in Shanghai’s main shopping district on Friday after organising a silent protest, prompting teen environmentalist Greta Thunberg to criticise China’s treatment of activists.

She said she was stopped in the eastern part of Nanjing Road, a popular shopping district, and taken to a nearby police station. She was released the same day. On Sunday, she posted a photo on Twitter of what looked like an interrogation room. She initially agreed to speak to the South China Morning Post on Tuesday morning but later attempts to contact her were unsuccessful.Authorities in Shanghai have not issued a statement about Friday’s protest.

“Activism is not a crime. Peacefully standing up for the future survival of the living planet should never be illegal. Solidarity and gratitude to our friends in China, Uganda, Russia and everywhere else #FridaysForFuture activists are being arrested,” Greta said on her Twitter account.
