A young climate activist in India has been arrested after she shared a social media toolkit that listed ways people could support farmers who have been demonstrating for months around the country's capital of New Delhi -- a document later shared by Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.
New Delhi (CNN)Supporters of a young climate activist arrested in India over a farmers' protest "toolkit," later shared by Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, have called for her release.
Delhi police confirmed the arrest of Disha Ravi, who is in her early 20s, in a tweet on Sunday that accused her of being a "key conspirator in (the) document's formulation & dissemination."
The document, unsigned and publicly available on an encrypted sharing site, provides a list of ways supporters can help the ongoing protests.
"The main aim of the toolkit was to create misinformation and disaffection against the lawfully elected government," Prem Nath, joint commissioner of Delhi police, told a press conference on Monday.
