Greta Thunberg arrested at pro-Palestinian protest in London

Let us hope it makes her miserable enough to stop doing this nonsense. [IsraelTimes] Police say the 22-year-old activist was detained for holding a placard showing support for the proscribed group Palestine Action at a demonstration backing detained hunger strikers
London police on Tuesday arrested Swedish activist Greta "Pippi" Thunberg
...an autistic sixteen year old Swedish expert on climate change, though I guess she's older now...
at a demonstration in support of pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel hunger strikers, Paleostinian activist groups said.
Thunberg’s arrest makes her the highest-profile person to be detained by British police since the government banned the Paleostine Action group under anti-terror laws.
"Greta Thunberg was arrested under the Terrorism Act at the Prisoners for Paleostine lock-on protest," Prisoners for Paleostine said in a statement.
Thunberg was holding a sign reading "I support the Paleostine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide."
Israel firmly denies allegations of genocide in its two-year war against Hamas
 ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
, and insists that it makes every effort to avoid harming civilians.
Thunberg, a 22-year-old who rose to fame for her climate activism, was among hundreds of people who boarded a flotilla in October that tried to break through the Israeli blockade of Gaza. The flotilla was intercepted by Israel, and the activists were deported.
City of London Police said officers had arrested three people on suspicion of criminal damage at a building in London’s financial quarter.
It said the arrests came after "hammers and red paint were used to damage a building."
"A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage. They glued themselves nearby and specialist officers are working to release them, and bring them into police custody," a statement said.
"A little while later, a 22-year-old woman also attended the scene. She has been arrested for displaying an item (in this case a placard) in support of a proscribed organization (in this case Paleostine Action) contrary to Section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000," it added.
The government outlawed Paleostine Action in July after its activists broke into an air force base and caused an estimated £7 million ($9.3 million) of damage.
Some of the eight pro-Paleostinian detainees who have been on hunger strike have been charged over that incident.
The group, aged between 20 and 31, are facing trials relating to break-ins or criminal damage by Paleostine Action.
They are on hunger strike to protest their treatment and call for their release on bail. Prisoners for Paleostine has said that two of the detainees have been on hunger strike for 52 days and are at a "critical stage, where death is a real possibility."
Asked about it in parliament last week, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said "rules and procedures" were being followed.
Two of the protesters began their hunger strikes in early November, according to their supporters, with others joining in the following weeks.
The government’s Paleostine Action ban — which makes being a member of the group or supporting it a serious criminal offense punishable by up to 14 years in prison — has resulted in at least 2,300 arrests of demonstrators, according to protest organizers Defend Our Juries.
According to London’s Met Police in late November, so far 254 out of the more than 2,000 arrested have been charged with a lesser offense, which carries a sentence of up to six months.
Greta Thunberg released on bail after arrest at pro-Palestinian protest in London
[IsraelTimes] Swedish activist Greta Thunberg is released from custody after being arrested today in London at a pro-Palestinian protest, police say.
UK-based campaign group Prisoners for Palestine said Thunberg was earlier arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a sign that said “I support the Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide.” The British government has proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist group.
City of London Police say Thunberg has been bailed until March.
