COPENHAGEN — Danish police on Sept 4 apprehended activist Greta Thunberg at a Copenhagen protest against the war in Gaza, a spokesperson for the student group organising the demonstration said.
Six people were detained at the scene at the Copenhagen University after some 20 people had blocked the entrance to a building and three entered, a police spokesperson told Reuters.
Police declined to confirm the identities of any of those arrested but a spokesperson for the Students Against the Occupation told Reuters that 21-year-old Thunberg, who is Swedish, had been held.
A picture of Thunberg published by daily Ekstra Bladet showed her wearing what the newspaper said were handcuffs.
