Greta Thunberg arrested in London at demonstration for Palestine Action protesters on hunger strike

Greta Thunberghas been arrested in central Londonat a protest supporting jailed PalestineAction protesters who are on hunger strike. Footage shows the 22-year-old activist holding a sign saying 'I support Palestine Action prisoners, I oppose genocide' outside the headquarters of an insurance firm. A City of London Police officer is seen taking away the sign this morning before asking Ms Thunberg to stand. The Prisoners for Palestine protest group said it targeted Aspen Insurance because it provides services to Israeli-linked defence firm Elbit Systems. Two activists sprayed red paint over the front of the building before police arrived and made arrests. It comes as eight Palestine Action protesters remain on an open-ended hunger strike for nearly two months while on remand in prison. Palestine Action was banned by the Government as a terrorist group in July after activists damaged RAF planes and hundreds of its supporters have been arrested.
