Susan Sarandon and others arrested at New York protest against Benjamin Netanyahu
Actress Susan Sarandon and approximately 100 other demonstrators were detained by New York police during a protest targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The event occurred as Netanyahu prepared to address the United Nations General Assembly.
On Thursday, actress Susan Sarandon and comedian Hannah Einbinder were among a group of roughly 100 people taken into custody by the New York Police Department. The arrests occurred during a demonstration in New York City organized to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was in the city to address the United Nations General Assembly.
Footage captured by Agence France-Presse shows police officers escorting Sarandon, who was handcuffed, away from the protest site. While the report notes the arrests took place as police broke up the gathering, it does not specify the exact charges filed against those detained or the specific nature of the police interaction that led to the arrests. The demonstration was one of several events surrounding the UN General Assembly, which often draws large crowds and various protest groups to the city. The report mentions that the New York Post also covered the event, though it does not detail the specific framing used by that outlet.
