Watch: That moment when activist Licypriya Kangujam, 11, confronted UK’s energy minister at COP27

Zac Goldsmith walked away from the 11-year-old climate activist at COP27 when asked repeatedly when his government will release jailed climate protestors.

I repeatedly asked him, when will you release them? Which date? What time? His lady Secretary pushed me two times.

He also told me that "I can do nothing"

If he can do nothing then why he is a minister? Why he's coming to #COP27 ?

This is unacceptable. This is not fair. pic.twitter.com/QNkw3YY5ik

People shouldn’t be rude about this young activist. She was polite. 
I answered that no one should be imprisoned for peaceful protest, that as a UK Minister I am not involved in judicial/police matters, & I cannot release people from jail!).
