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.

Isn't getting arrested at protests her job?

You should learn and check out the civil rights activists in America, they also got arrested and much more when they wanted to change the status quo.

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.\

Screenshot of Greta being detained:

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.”

In October last year, not long after the start of the hostilities.

It's always depressing to see news outlets pretend this all started with October 7th, like this hasn't been going on for decades.
