Two other people held on suspicion of criminal damage after protest at insurance company’s offices
Greta Thunberg has been arrested in London after taking part in a protest holding a sign expressing support for Palestine Action-affiliated hunger strikers.
The Swedish activist arrived after a protest had begun outside the offices of an insurance company in London and she sat down with a sign saying “I support the Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide.”
Two other activists are said to have earlier used repurposed fire extinguishers to cover the front of the building used by Aspen Insurance with red paint before locking themselves to it.
The campaign group Prisoners for Palestinesaid Aspen, a global speciality insurer and reinsurer, was targeted because it provided services to Elbit Systems UK, a subsidiary of an Israeli weapons maker.
