NORWAY: Human rights violations – The Fosen Case

OSLO, March 3, 2023 – Brynhild Bye-Tiller followed the end of a nine-day protest to tear down wind turbines in Fosen wind farm in central Norway, built on reindeer pastures used by Sami herders. Hundreds of Indigenous and evvironmental campaigners, including Greta Tunberg, blocked the entrance of The Royal Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy and the main road to Norway's royal palace in Oslo. Norway's supreme court ruled in 2021 that 151 turbines violated Sami rights under international conventions, and they remained in operation 17 months later.
