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.
