In the latest news, young climate activist Greta Thunberg has been arrested during a Palestine protest in Denmark. The 21-year-old Swedish activist joined a group of students occupying a building at the University of Copenhagen, as they called for a boycott of Israeli universities. Thunberg, who has been a vocal advocate for climate change, shared footage of the police entering the building and forcing everyone out. She also mentioned that the police were armed and wearing assault rifles.
Images from the scene show Thunberg being taken away by the police, with her hands cuffed and a black-and-white keffiyeh shawl draped over her shoulders. According to Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, five other people were also arrested for blocking the building, with three of them briefly entering. A police spokesperson confirmed that a total of six people were arrested for allegedly forcing their way into the building and blocking the entrance.
The protest was organized by a group called Students against Occupation, who are demanding that the University of Copenhagen stop their cooperation with academic institutions in Israel. In their statement, the group expressed their frustration with the situation in Palestine and called for immediate action. Thunberg, who has been arrested once before this year at an Extinction Rebellion protest in the Netherlands, has been devoting more time to the Palestinian cause.
This is not the first time Thunberg has been arrested for her activism. In October last year, she walked free from a UK court where she was on trial for a public order offence during a protest against an energy conference. The judge later criticized the police for their handling of the protest and dismissed the case in February. The 21-year-old has been using her platform to raise awareness about important issues such as climate change and the ongoing conflict in Palestine.
The situation in Palestine has been a cause for concern around the world, with thousands of lives lost in the ongoing conflict. In response to the recent bloodshed, pro-Palestinian protesters have set up camps at universities, calling for a ceasefire. Just this week, the UK government announced that they will be suspending some arms exports to Israel after a review of the country's compliance with international law.
