Greta Thunberg has been arrested in Copenhagen after taking part in a pro-Palestine protest, according to a spokesperson for Students Against the Occupation, the group which organised the demonstration.

A police spokesperson said six people were detained on Wednesday (September 4) at the University of Copenhagen.

While police declined to confirm the identities of any of those arrested, Students Against the Occupation have stated that high-profile activist Thunberg was one of those held.

A video of Thunberg posted on the Students Against the Occupation Instagram account shows her being led into a police van wearing handcuffs and a black-and-white keffiyeh.

The 21-year-old activist also shared images on her own Instagram account of riot police entering a University of Copenhagen building where the protest was held.

Students Against the Occupation said in a statement posted on Instagram that “while the situation in Palestine only gets worse, the University of Copenhagen continues cooperation with academic institutions in Israel [...] We are occupying [the university’s] central administration with one demand: academic boycott now.”
