Greta Thunberg Arrested at London Protest, Later Released

Police are enforcing terrorism laws that make public support for the proscribed group Palestine Action a potential offense.

Overview

  • London police said Thunberg was detained on suspicion of breaching terrorism legislation by holding a placard supporting Palestine Action.
  • Palestine Action was banned by the UK government in July after members entered a Royal Air Force base and spray-painted military aircraft.
  • Footage posted on X by Palestine Action showed Thunberg seated holding a paper expressing solidarity with detained members of the group.
  • A separate pro-Palestine group the same day sprayed red paint on a London insurance company’s building, which the group claims has ties to Israeli arms makers.
  • British media reported that Thunberg was later released following the detention.
