Greta Thunberg arrested at London pro-Palestinian protest

London [UK], December 24: Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been arrested at a London protest in support of pro-Palestinian protesters on hunger strike in prison, the Prisoners for Palestine protest group said.
In a video shared by the group, Thunberg, 22, can be seen holding a sign reading "I support the Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide" at a demonstration by Prisoners for Palestine outside the central London offices of Aspen Insurance.
The group claimed they targeted the company on Tuesday morning because they provide services to Israeli-linked defence firm Elbit Systems.
Two other activists sprayed red paint over the front of the building before police arrived and made arrests. A City of London Police spokesperson said: "At around 7am this morning hammers and red paint were used to damage a building on Fenchurch Street.
"A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage. They glued themselves nearby and specialist officers are working to release them, and bring them into police custody.
"A little while later, a 22-year-old woman also attended the scene.
She has been arrested for displaying an item (in this case a placard) in support of a proscribed organisation (in this case Palestine Action) contrary to Section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000."
