Protester Scales Big Ben with Palestinian Flag
The man climbed the Elizabeth Tower in London on Saturday morning, unfurling a Palestinian flag over an edge and sitting down. Witnesses feared for his safety as he was unsecured.
Authorities used a cherry picker to communicate with the protester, who threatened to climb higher if approached. Eventually, he descended voluntarily.
Westminster Bridge was closed, Parliament tours canceled, and onlookers redirected before the man's arrest.
