Demonstrator climbs barefoot on Big Ben: you are a hero! Call fans!

A spectacular protest occurred in London on Saturday at the famous Elizabeth Tower, better known as Big Ben. A demonstrator who climbed onto the tower with a Palestine junction caused excitement and mobilized police, fire brigade and rescue workers, while mediators tried to move the activist in vain. As vienna.at , the man had climbed the tower barefoot and even gained his shoes while he was supporting spectators: "Palestine free! ”

The police, who locked the site in Westminster all day long, was forced to end the campaign after hours to ensure the safety of everyone involved. According to Tagesspiegel , the man was finally brought down and arrested with a fire brigade. So far, the motif of the activist has been unknown, and it remains puzzling how he could get to the iconic tower despite strict safety precautions.
