  10. UK: Greta Thunberg Arrested During Pro Palestinian Sit In In London

    Wed, 31 Dec 2025 19:07:02 -0000

    London, United Kingdom - December 23, 2025 Video filmed on December 23, 2025, shows climate activist Greta Thunberg being arrested outside Aspen Insurance in the City of London during a pro Palestinian sit in protest. The footage, recorded outside a modern glass building marked “30,” captures Thunberg seated cross legged on the pavement in front of gray metal barriers. She is wearing a black beanie, scarf, puffer jacket, and sneakers, while holding a handwritten white sign reading: “I Support Palestine Action Prisoners I Oppose Genocide.” Security staff in high visibility yellow vests are visible nearby. A police officer wearing a checkered hat approaches and speaks briefly to her before taking hold of her arm. As officers move in, Thunberg goes limp in an act of passive resistance. Two officers then lift her by the arms and carry her away horizontally, with her feet dragging along the ground and the sign remaining in her hand. The handheld, shaky footage highlights the arrest taking place in daylight. The post describing the video labels the incident as “BREAKING,” claiming Thunberg was arrested under the Terrorism Act during a Prisoners for Palestine action targeting insurers connected to Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems. According to incident details, the arrest occurred during a small and peaceful demonstration organized by Prisoners for Palestine to support hunger striking activists linked to Palestine Action. The group was proscribed as a terrorist organization by the UK government in July 2025 for actions disrupting companies such as Elbit Systems. Thunberg was charged under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000 for displaying a placard in support of the banned group. She was briefly detained and later released on bail pending further investigation. No violence or injuries were reported, and the protest sought to draw attention to alleged complicity in genocide through insurance links to arms manufacturers. The incident sparked mixed reactions, with supporters praising the action as a defense of free speech and Palestinian rights, while critics argued it amounted to endorsement of extremism.
