COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -Danish police detained activist Greta Thunberg at a Copenhagen protest against the war in Gaza and Israel's occupation of the West Bank on Wednesday, a spokesperson for the organisers of the demonstration said.
Thunberg was later released from detention, according to Danish media reports, and the daily Ekstra Bladet showed video footage of her walking out of a police station.
Six people had been detained at the Copenhagen University after about 20 people blocked the entrance to a building and three entered, a police spokesperson said without commenting on individual detainees.
