Abstract
This chapter focuses on the experiences of repression, policing and state-corporate control of activists fighting for eco-justice during the COVID-19 pandemic – both from across Brazil and from a specific Italian city (Trento). Drawing on two qualitative studies conducted by the two authors during the pandemic and using analytical insights from critical and green criminology and political ecology, this chapter unveils activists’ experiences of repression and control during the COVID health crisis, which they saw as further tightening.
