- Will McCallum, co-executive director of Greenpeace UK, was among six individuals arrested on charges of criminal damage and conspiracy to cause criminal damage.
- The protest aimed to highlight the role of U.S. arms in the ongoing conflict in Gaza, where tens of thousands of Palestinian lives have been lost.
