The man was pictured scaling Big Ben's Elizabeth Tower with a Palestinian flag while clinging onto a corner of the building - and was heard saying 'I'm not going anywhere'

The man scaled the U.K. building on March 8 and refused to come down, putting traffic in the area at a standstill and prompting negotiators to reach him via crane

A man who climbed up Big Ben's Elizabeth Tower carrying a Palestinian flag has been brought down after more than 16 hours. The barefoot man had made his way on to a ledge several metres up the tower at the Palace of Westminster on Saturday morning. He had been heard telling negotiators he would come down on his "own terms".
