The protest was only ended after several hours because the security of the civil servants, the man and the public had to be guaranteed, as the police announced on platform X. The location in Westminster was cordoned off all day.
Television pictures showed how the man was finally brought down by the Elizabeth Tower with a fire department of the fire brigade, where the famous Big Ben bell is located.
Mediators, according to media reports, tried in vain to move the activists down to come. The police, fire brigade and rescue workers were switched on. In between, the man pulled out his shoes and climbed up barefoot. According to a BBC report, supporters on the ground called “free Palestine” and “you are a hero”.
