Climate activist Greta Thunberg was arrested in London on Tuesday while supporting pro-Palestinian activists in British prisons who were organizing a hunger strike.
Prisoners for Palestine, the protest group, released a video of the 22-year-old Swede holding a sign that read: “I support Palestine Action prisoners. I am against genocide,” referring to the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.
She was later released on bail, the group said on X.

The protest was in support of the hunger strike group Palestine Action, which is banned as a terrorist organization in Britain.
The protests were part of a larger demonstration in which two other activists sprayed red paint in front of an insurance company in London.
Prisoners for Palestine says they targeted the insurer because it backs Israeli-linked defense company Elbit Systems.

A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage. A third woman was later arrested on suspicion of supporting a banned organization.
Eight members of Palestine Action have gone on hunger strike to protest their detention without bail. They are awaiting trial on charges related to previous protests.
Two of the members have been on hunger strike for 52 days and are in a “critical phase, where death is a real possibility,” Prisoners for Palestine said in a statement.

Last year Thunberg was too acquitted by a London court for refusing to obey a police order to leave a protest blocking access to an oil and gas industry conference.
