Pro-Palestine activists occupied the British Museum following a Middle East Eye investigation into billionaire trustee Igor Tulchinsky's financial links to an illegal Israeli settlement. The occupation targeted the museum's governance and Tulchinsky's role on its board.
Tulchinsky's business interests reportedly connect to ventures operating in occupied Palestinian territory, according to the investigation that prompted the action. The protesters sought to pressure the institution over its acceptance of Tulchinsky as a trustee.
