German climate activist faces expulsion from Austria after ban

VIENNA: Austria has banned a German climate activist for two years, she said on Monday, adding she would fight the decision, which could see her expelled from the Alpine EU member.

Anja Windl, who has been living in Austria for seven years, became known for her protests against climate change, including glueing herself on streets to stop traffic with the Last Generation group. In a decision Windl received last week, the Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum issued the two-year ban, giving her one month to leave the country.

The ban was issued after the German activist was found to pose a “danger for the public order and security”, according to the decision seen by AFP.
