At least 15 police officers started at 02.30 to carry out the protesters who since Thursday have refused to remove themselves from the reception in the ministry. The campaigners are protesting against the development of the wind turbines on the Fosenhalvøya, which the Supreme Court has declared to be unlawful. Shareholders from the Norske Samirs Riksforbund Nuorat and Natur og Ungdom planned to block the entrance to the ministry on Monday. They have been campaigning in the foyer of the ministry since Thursday. Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen, who has been a spokeswoman for the protesters, broadcast live on Instagram from the eviction and when she and several others were driven away in a police car. At 3 o’clock all the campaigners had been removed from the foyer. 15-minute deadline The police are said to have given the activists 15 minutes to leave the building before they began to carry them out. The protesters chanted and shouted slogans as they were removed. The Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg joined the action outside the ministry just after 2 o’clock. According to the activists, she was refused entry to the ministry. Greta Thunberg joined the protesters outside the ministry shortly after 2am last night.

The police also state that they have a duty to follow up on such a request as the building is classified as an object worthy of protection. While the eviction was going on, 40-50 young people from Nature and Youth and the National Confederation of Norwegian Sami demonstrated outside. They shout “Let the mountains live” and sing “They are sitting there with their cardigans turned upside down”. Carrying the Samekofte inside out is a traditional form of demonstration that expresses dissatisfaction, explained one of the demonstrators. Photo: Philippe Bedos Ulvin / news – 500 days without action On 11 October 2021, the Supreme Court declared the license and expropriation decision on the wind power development at Fosen invalid. The Supreme Court held that the decisions infringed the right of reindeer herders to practice culture. The action marks that 500 days have passed since the Supreme Court’s judgment, without anything having changed at Fosen. – Courageous campaigners On Sunday, the campaigners were visited by Sámi Parliament President Silje Karine Muotka, who called them brave and expressed her support. Muotka understands the way they act, which she calls safe and peaceful. – I think it is important to draw attention to the fact that this is a violation of human rights, she says to news. Muotka says it is disappointing that the wind turbines at Fosen are in full operation 500 days after the Supreme Court ruled that the plant is illegal. She says the lack of reactions creates powerlessness, and that she is worried about the young protesters who feel they have to take responsibility for such a serious matter. – The responsibility should not be theirs. It is us politicians who must ensure progress in the case, she says. The protesters refused to leave and shouted slogans before being carried out one by one. Photo: news Aasland says Fosen clarification may take a year Oil and Energy Minister Terje Aasland says the authorities need more knowledge about the grazing areas before they can clarify what happens to the wind turbines at Fosen. He believes this can take up to a year. More than 500 days ago, the Supreme Court ruled that the wind power plant was built in violation of the Sami’s human rights and that the development was unlawful.
