While this ceremony was taking place in the underground floor, the police invaded the ground floor of the KlimaForum and arrested several people. Police and military have several times entered the KlimaForum venue during the last days. Meanwhile one of the of the organisers of the peaceful civil disobedience march planned for today (December 16) was arrested straight after a press conference in the Bella Center,the venue of the climate summit.
Police raids have been reported all over the city against organisers of tomorrow's demonstration. What the justification is for arresting the organisers of a peaceful demonstration remains entirely unclear.
After the large number of mass arrests of the last days, not least the almost 1,000 people detained during the big demonstration on Saturday, it's becoming clear that the Danish police is working systematically to hinder demonstrations - completely ignoring the basic right to assembly.
