6 Arrested in London Over Alleged Plot to Disrupt Stock Exchange Opening
• Six people were arrested in London on Sunday over an alleged plot by the Palestine Action group to disrupt the opening of the London Stock Exchange (LSE) on Monday.
• The arrests were made after the Daily Express newspaper passed information to police on Friday about the suspected plot.
• Palestine Action aims to disrupt the operations of weapons manufacturers supplying the Israeli government. The group said the LSE raises billions for Israel.
• Police believe the activists were planning to cause damage and prevent the LSE from opening for trading, although the LSE has no physical trading floor.
• Five people have been released while one person was charged with an offense and will soon appear in court, according to Palestine Action.
