Thunberg and other protestors blocked entrances at the hotel, trying to prevent delegates from entering.

I think it’s that blocking that might’ve caused the arrest, not protesting itself. As the link says

Are there any restrictions to this right?

There are some situations where a public authority can restrict your rights to freedom of assembly and association.

This is only the case where the authority can show that its action is lawful, necessary and proportionate in order to:

protect national security or public safety

prevent disorder or crime

protect health or morals, or

protect the rights and freedoms of other people.

Probably falls under the last point
