Climate activist Greta Thunberg and dozens of Sami activists blocked the entrance to Norway's energy ministry Monday to protest against wind turbines still in place on reindeer herding land despite a court ruling.

"We can't use the so-called climate transition as a cover for colonialism," Thunberg told broadcaster TV2 as she blocked the doors of the ministry in Oslo.

The court found that the project violated the right of Sami families to practise their culture of reindeer husbandry. However, they gave no guidance on what should be done with the turbines, which were already in operation. Petroleum and energy minister Terje Aasland acknowledged Monday that the case was a"heavy burden" for Sami reindeer herders.
