The incident occurred in the European Union capital, where Elston was displaying signs denouncing such treatments. According to reports, police ordered the activists to destroy their signs after several hours in custody.
Elston, who frequently travels to different locations to protest transgender medical interventions for children, argues that these treatments are harmful and irreversible. His activism has drawn both support and criticism, sparking debates about parental rights, freedom of speech, and the appropriate medical care for transgender youth.
