From AFP News Agency.
London police have arrested Swedish activist Greta Thunberg at a demonstration in support of pro-Palestinian hunger strikers, Palestinian activist groups said. Thunberg’s arrest makes her the highest profile person to be detained by police since the UK government banned Palestine Action under anti-terror laws.
The government outlawed the group in July after activists broke into an air force base and caused an estimated £7 million of damage. Some of the eight detainees who have been charged over that incident have been on hunger strike to protest their treatment and call for their release on bail.
