Activists Block Access to Maersk Headquarters to Protest Arms Shipments to Israel
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Denmark, about 20 activists were arrested at the Maersk shipping
company's Copenhagen headquarters Monday as they protested its role in
fueling Israel's weapons supply. Among those protesting - and arrested -
was prominent Swedish activist Greta Thunberg.

Greta Thunberg: "We're currently outside Maersk, one of the biggest
shipping companies in the world, that the last year, only the last year,
has shipped thousands of tons of military equipment to Israel to arm
them during their genocide in Gaza. And we are here to demand that
Maersk must stop all the transportation of weapons and weapon components
to Israel. They must terminate all contracts and investment that support
the genocide and occupation of Palestine."
