Greta Thunberg Arrested During Protest Against Gaza War in Copenhagen
Recently, climate activist Greta Thunberg was arrested during a protest in Copenhagen against the war in Gaza. The protest, organized by the student group "Students Against the Occupation," took place at the University of Copenhagen. The group was calling for an academic boycott of Israeli institutions, reflecting broader protests that have emerged in response to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza.
Thunberg, now 21, has been a prominent voice not only for climate activism but increasingly for social and political causes, including the situation in Palestine. During this protest, she and five other individuals were detained by Danish police after students blocked access to a university building, demanding an end to academic ties with Israeli institutions. The demonstration was a response to the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza and the broader issue of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories.
