Elin Ersson, the 21-year-old Swedish student who tried to stop an asylum seeker from being deported to Afghanistan, was indicted on Oct. 19, over her failed attempt to stop a flight from Gothenburg to Turkey in July.

Ersson, a student at the University of Gothenburg, livestreamed herself on Facebook refusing for approximately 15 minutes to sit down on the plane, as fellow passengers and flight attendants told her to be seated so the flight could depart.
