Six Pro-Palestine Activists Arrested Over Alleged Plot to Disrupt London Stock Exchange

Arrests made in London, Liverpool, and Brighton following tip-off; five of the six activists have since been released.

Six pro-Palestine activists were arrested in the UK over a plot to disrupt the London Stock Exchange (LSE) on Monday, January 15, 2024.
The activists, members of the Palestine Action group, allegedly planned to chain themselves to the doors of the LSE to prevent it from opening for trading.
The arrests were made in London, Liverpool, and Brighton following a tip-off from the Daily Express, which had sent a reporter undercover to the group's meetings.
Five of the six arrested activists have since been released, while one has been charged and is due to appear in court.
The Metropolitan Police have stated that they are prepared for potential further disruptions, as the plot was suggested to be part of a planned week of action.
