According to the reports, the leader of the United Kingdom of Greenpeace and five other activists were arrested Thursday after throwing hundreds of liters of “blood red dye” in a pond in the United States embassy in London in a protest against the war in Gaza.
The environmental group said that the action was “to highlight death and devastation caused in Gaza as a direct result of the continuous sale of the United States to Israel.”
“Twelve activists tilted the non -toxic and biodegradable dye of the containers stamped with the words 'stops assembling Israel' in the great pond located in front of the Embassy building in nine Olmos, southwest of London,” Greenpeace said in a statement. “The containers were delivered to the bicycle embassy with trailers disguised as delivery bicycles.”
Greenpeace later said that Will McCallum, the executive co-director of Greenpeace UK, was one of the six detained people.

“At 07:30 a.m., on Thursday, April 10, guard officers at the United States Embassy in nine Elms realized a group of Greenpeace protesters who placed red dye in the pond next to the building.

The images released by Greenpeace Uk allegedly showed that the activists threw the dye into the pond at the US embassy on Thursday.
“We have changed the blood red of the embassy pond because US weapons continue to feed an indiscriminate war that has seen bombs fallen in schools and hospitals, whole neighborhoods with debris and tens of thousands of destroyed Palestinian lives,” said Areba Hamid, former executive director of Greenpeace UK, in a statement.
