“Greta Thunberg held a placard with the inscription: ‘I support Palestinian Action prisoners. I stand against genocide’,” a representative of the legal organization noted, clarifying that the activist was arrested in accordance with British anti-terrorism law, reports Le Soir.
"Palestinian Action"! was added in early July to the list of organizations recognized as "terrorist" in the UK, after an act of vandalism committed by its members, some of whom are imprisoned and have started a hunger strike. Any support for this organization is punishable by up to six months in prison.
