Isn’t getting arrested at protests her job?
Russia today is not a trustworthy „newsagency“, Even if they reported rhis and it is true. Everyone decides for themselves - but please take care Not to ingest missinformation by trusting a well known propagandachannel of russia
Was there no other news outlet covering this?
I saw it first on RT.
I am sure there are more outlets that are talking about it.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was detained at a pro-Palestinian rally in the Danish capital Copenhagen on Wednesday, local media reported, citing protest organizers.
Protesters from the ‘Students Against the Occupation’ group called for an academic boycott of Israeli universities. In a statement on Instagram before the protest action, the group said that “while the situation in Palestine only gets worse, the University of Copenhagen continues cooperation with academic institutions in Israel,” which prompted them to act.\

Several web users posted pictures and videos purportedly showing Thunberg’s arrest on X (formerly Twitter). They featured the activist wearing a black-and-white keffiyeh shawl, a traditional Arabic headdress, being led to a police van in what looked like handcuffs.
A later report by Danish news outlet Ekstra Bladet said Thunberg had been taken to a police station for questioning but was later released. She has reportedly been charged with trespassing along with five other students.
Wednesday’s incident is not the first time that Thunberg, who’s forte is usually climate protection, has shown an interest in the Gaza war. In October last year, not long after the start of the hostilities, she sent a message of support for Palestinians. It drew condemnation from Israel, with Arye Sharuz Shalicar, a spokesman for the Israeli army, slamming Thunberg as a “terror supporter.”
