Greta Thunberg Arrested at Gaza War Protest in Copenhagen

Climate activist Greta Thunberg was arrested today during a protest in Copenhagen against the ongoing Gaza war. The demonstration, which attracted significant attention due to Thunberg’s presence, called for an immediate ceasefire and greater international intervention to protect civilians in Gaza.

Six people had been detained on Wednesday at the University of Copenhagen after 20 people blocked the entrance to a building and three entered, a police spokesperson said.

Thunberg, known for her outspoken advocacy on climate change, has increasingly highlighted the intersection of environmental and humanitarian issues. The protest in Copenhagen was part of a broader global movement condemning the violence in Gaza. Thunberg, alongside other activists, was detained by Danish authorities after the protestors blocked major roads in the city centre.

Eyewitnesses reported that Thunberg remained calm as she was taken into custody, with supporters chanting her name. Her arrest has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many praising her commitment to social justice, while others criticized her involvement in political issues beyond climate change.
