Event Summary

Greta Thunberg was arrested in London while protesting in support of Palestine hunger strikers. She was detained under the Terrorism Act 2000 for displaying a sign supporting Palestine, which the United Kingdom government has proscribed as a terrorist organization. The protest took place outside the offices of Aspen Insurance Holdings, which was targeted by activists who sprayed red paint on the building, alleging its support for the Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems. Several Palestine members are on a hunger strike, with some reaching a critical stage, to protest their detention without bail while awaiting trial for charges related to earlier demonstrations.
