Greta Thunberg arrested at pro-Palestinian protest

On Wednesday morning, Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was arrested during a pro-Palestinian demonstration at the University of Copenhagen. Thunberg, along with members of the group Students Against the Occupation, reported that police had violently entered the administration building with a ram and assault rifles to evict demonstrators. In her social media updates, she indicated that students were being arrested and taken to the police station. The protest was part of a larger wave of campus demonstrations supporting Palestinians, which have intensified globally following the violent attack by Hamas against Israel nearly a year ago. This escalation has led to a significant military response from the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza and the West Bank. Thunberg's involvement in the protest highlights her ongoing commitment to social justice issues beyond climate activism. Danish media reported that approximately 20 demonstrators were present at the university, with six individuals, including Thunberg, being arrested. While police did not confirm the identities of those detained, a spokesperson for Students Against the Occupation confirmed Thunberg's arrest. Video footage captured the moment she was taken away by law enforcement. Thunberg has previously faced backlash from the Israeli military for her outspoken support of Palestinians, particularly after she accused Israel of committing war crimes and genocide amid the ongoing conflict. Her recent arrest underscores the intersection of climate activism and broader social justice movements, as she continues to advocate for various causes.
