Greta Thunberg Detained Under UK Terrorism Law at London Protest, Released on Bail

Overview

• City of London Police said Thunberg, 22, was held under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act for displaying an item in support of a proscribed group.
• Her poster read, according to organizers, "I support the Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide," and she was later released on bail.
• Police added that she must appear in March 2026 under her provisional release conditions.
• Officers reported two additional arrests at the demonstration for throwing red paint at a building.
• Organizers said the protest targeted an Aspen Insurance–occupied site they claim serves Elbit Systems’ UK arm, as the July proscription of Palestine Action faces rights‑group and UN criticism and some detained activists continue hunger strikes requiring hospital care.
