Four protesters were arrested for splattering food on a display case of the Imperial State Crown at the Tower of London. Activists from Take Back Power staged the act to advocate for a permanent citizens' assembly and taxation on extreme wealth.

On Saturday, four activists were detained after a brazen protest at the Tower of London, where they defaced the display case of the celebrated Imperial State Crown.
