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. It gained visibility after Thunberg tweeted a link to it on February 4, crediting "people on the ground in India." "Disha is a dedicated climate activist," said one volunteer at the India chapter of Fridays For Future, a global climate activism group founded by Thunberg. The new laws dismantled this committee structure, instead allowing farmers to sell their goods to anyone for any price. Ravi was arrested for "educating people on the farmers protest & how best to support -- in a democratic, peaceful way," tweeted Trisha Shetty, an Indian activist for human rights and gender equity.
