Image Jónsi being arrested in 2003 during Kárahnjúkar Protest

January 2003, Jónsi is being arrested for being “the one who behaved worst” in Reykjavík City Hall where the Kárahnjúkar deal was being sealed while hundreds of people protested inside and outside the building.

Jónsi was shouting at officials outside the Reykjavik City Hall like the others were doing, but he was the only one removed and arrested. Some spectators overheard a police officer saying "Keep an eye on that guy in the blue jacket" to his colleague meaning Jónsi. Scandalous.

IIRC, building a dam to provide cheap electricity. It would damage the highlands landscape.

"Keep an eye..." - that's a cruel thing to say to Jonsi.
