Pro-Palestine and climate activists disrupt a Barclays shareholder meeting held in Westminster, according to reports. Disruption begins at the start of the meeting on Thursday, interrupting proceedings as the group carries out protests outside and/or at the venue. The Independent reports that the disruption breaks out at the beginning of the shareholder meeting. The Belfast Telegraph also reports that the meeting is targeted by both Palestine and climate activists. The accounts describe activism as coordinated around the shareholder event, rather than an issue specific to Barclays’ day-to-day operations. While the reports focus on the disruption occurring as the meeting opens, they do not provide detailed information in the excerpts provided on the number of protesters involved, any arrests, or the specific demands raised. Overall, the coverage agrees that the Barclays shareholder meeting in Westminster is met with protest activity from Palestine and climate campaigners at the beginning of the session.
