Daniel Day, 29, scaled 25 metres (82 feet) up the building at about 7:20 a.m. on Saturday. He remained there for 16 hours until agreeing to come down, his lawyer and prosecutors told London’s Westminster Magistrates’ Court. He was subsequently charged by police with climbing and remaining on the tower which created \”a risk or caused serious harm to the public\”, and also trespassing on a protected site. Day’s lawyer said he would plead not guilty to the first charge, saying his action was designed to spread awareness regarding the situation in Gaza and Britain’s response to it. The second charge of trespass requires the authorisation of the attorney general, and so the case was adjourned until March 17 for a decision to be made. The speaker of parliament’s House of Commons, which is also located in the Palace of Westminster, said he had asked for a review of the incident. The case is expected to be heard in court on March 17, according to reports.
