Overview
- City of London Police said a 22-year-old was arrested under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act for displaying an item in support of a proscribed organization.
- Two protesters were also arrested on suspicion of criminal damage after hammers and red paint were used at Aspen Insurance’s Fenchurch Street building.
- Protest organizers said Aspen was targeted because it provides services to Elbit Systems, the Israeli-linked defense firm.
