On Monday, Danish police reported the arrest of 20 individuals during a protest calling on the shipping company “Maersk” to stop delivering military equipment to Israel.<\/p>\n
According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was among the protesters who gathered at Maersk’s headquarters in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n
Police used batons and tear gas to disperse dozens of demonstrators, according to images published by local media.<\/p>\n
Thunberg, in a video shared on social media, stated: “We are here to demand that Maersk stop transporting weapons and components of weapons to Israel.”<\/p>\n
She added, “They must end all contracts and investments that support genocide and the occupation of Palestine.”<\/p>\n
Thunberg, known for leading the “Fridays for Future” climate strike movement, has participated in numerous demonstrations supporting Palestinians since the outbreak of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.<\/p>\n
Maersk, in turn, clarified that its shipments do not include “weapons and ammunition.” In a message to AFP, the company stated: “These shipments contain equipment related to military activities… as part of the U.S.-Israeli security cooperation program. The shipments were inspected and comply with applicable laws.”<\/p>\n
A police spokesperson confirmed to AFP: “We tried to use dialogue to encourage the protesters to leave. It is a private area. In the end, dialogue stopped, and we had to use necessary measures to remove the protesters from the area.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
