Greta Thunberg was arrested in London after participating in a protest supporting Palestine Action-affiliated hunger strikers. The Swedish climate activist held a placard reading “I support the Palestine Action prisoners. Later, Thunberg, 22, was also detained for displaying a placard in support of Palestine Action, which is proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000. The protest aimed to highlight the hunger strike of eight prisoners awaiting trial for alleged offenses connected to Palestine Action. The incident adds to ongoing tensions surrounding Palestine Action protests and government responses under counter-terrorism laws.
