As the different climate action movements move from non disruptive tactics towards other forms of non violent direct action that include property damage or sabotage, (https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjRnb2E5d-DAxUlUaQEHX64AcYQFnoECBcQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian.com%2Fworld%2F2022%2Fnov%2F13%2Fthrowing-soup-at-the-problem-are-radical-climate-protests-helping-or-hurting-the-cause&usg=AOvVaw3ea9-YCGO9gXfB2WXOB6rT&opi=89978449) the different goverments reaction is escalating in response, changing laws or sometimes charging activists with hefty fines or greater prison sentences.

Hi, why is this market closed?

Does "by 2026" include "during 2026" or just "before 2026"?

I'm not sure I'd count property destruction as nonviolent tbh.

@AndrewHartman Exactly, these are felony level crimes and shouldn't be classified as nonviolent.

@Maniuser Throwing soup at a bulletproof glass does not seem like a very violent crime to me.

@JaimeSantaCruz I dunno if incompetence excuses intent, y'know?

What are the conditions? Does it require specific legislation (if so, where and what kind?) or is one peaceful protester anywhere in the world prosecuted enough?
