Copenhagen: Climate activist Greta Thunberg and several others were arrested Wednesday after demonstrating inside a University of Copenhagen building to call for an academic boycott of Israeli universities, Danish media reported.
Images on the daily Ekstra Bladet website showed the 21-year-old activist, wearing a black-and-white keffiyeh shawl draped over her shoulders, being escorted out of a campus building by police.
Thunberg herself shared images on Instagram of riot police entering a building where the group "Students against the Occupation" were staging a protest.
"I can't confirm the names of those arrested, but six people have been arrested in connection with the demonstration," a Copenhagen police spokesman told AFP.
Three of them "are suspected of forcing their way into the building and blocking the entrance", he said.
