London: Greta Thunberg Detained During Pro-Palestine Protest

Greta Thunberg has been arrested at a demonstration in support of the Palestine Action protesters who are on hunger strike in prison.

Hawzah News Agency- The 22-year-old activist was detained in the City of London after attending the scene of the early-morning demonstration on Fenchurch Street.

In a video shared by the group, she could be seen holding a sign reading "I support the Palestine Action prisoners" and "I oppose genocide".

The Prisoners for Palestine protest group said it staged the demonstration outside the offices of Aspen Insurance, which it claimed provides services to Israeli-linked defence firm Elbit Systems.

Ms Thunberg, who first came to prominence as a child climate activist, has been involved in several demonstrations in support of the Palestinian cause.

She described the activists on hunger strike as "political prisoners" in a video posted on her Instagram on Monday, adding the UK government should meet their demands to be released from custody and for charges to be dropped.

The protest comes after several imprisoned Palestine Action activists, including one who has refused to eat for 52 days, have been taken to hospital in recent days.

A legal firm representing the hunger strikers has said it submitted a pre-action letter on Monday against the Justice Secretary David Lammy.
