Greta Thunberg was recently arrested during a pro-Palestinian protest in Copenhagen, marking her second run-in with authorities within just a week.
The protest, held at the University of Copenhagen, aimed to call for an academic boycott of Israeli institutions in response to the ongoing Gaza conflict.
Thunberg, along with other activists, occupied a university building before being detained by Danish police for trespassing. The activist and her group sought to protest what they called the university’s complicity in the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.
This arrest follows a series of actions by Thunberg in support of the Palestinian cause. She has been vocal about condemning Israeli military actions and calling for global attention to what she describes as genocide in Gaza.
Her participation in these protests has drawn significant media attention, especially given her history as a prominent climate change activist. Thunberg has emphasized that her activism extends to human rights and justice, reflecting her broader commitment to speaking out against global injustices.
