Two activists displayed a banner on behalf of the Basque Youth in Buckingham Palace. The banner refers to the on-going trial of young people who were members of the Basque separatist youth organization Jarrai/Segi/Haika.
Two of them had climbed the palace fence and chained to it. The banner read: 'Basque Younth deffending civil and political rights' . The metropolitan police arrested the two chained to the door within 15 minutes and the other two only when they went down of the gate by themselves.
Spanish paper El Mundo echoed the action.
