Copenhague: 2 000 people make up a massive bl
La Haine - 14.12.2002 14:03

International Demonstration at 11.00: "Our world is not for sale - People before profit". (Christiansborg)

13.40 - Copenhaguen: An activist from the Black Block has reported to La Haine that "the demonstration against the Police State arranged to begin at 13.30 is to be delayed until this one is over".

13.35 - Copenhaguen: No less than 2000 people make up a massive black block at the time. Sturdy sticks hold their flags, many of them with mottos against the police: "No respect to the police. Stop the Police state". They are led by 500 people, still dancing and chanting within cheered Disobedient Block.

13.20 - Copenhaguen: The march is resumed, strolling along Norrevondgade. The police is allowing traffic to move along in certain streets, so the march is being eventually stopped. Anti- riots have put their helmets on.

13.05 - Copenhaguen: The demonstration is being stopped, now for 15 mins, in Gothersgate ST. with Norrevondgade. Some wonder why, but most is still dancing and chanting against EU's policies.

13.00 - Copenhaguen - Contra-repression News (Dansk Black Anarchist Cross):
14/12/02.- We have now knowledge of five Danish persons who has been released and one German activist has been deported by plane to Germany. More people have now been arrested for minor offences, these include "not complying to police orders" and "violent attitude", whatever that means. The police harassment continues throughout the city. Two young girls who was arrested this night and released from custody this morning were mistreated by the police: They where locked in cold detention cells and denied sleep all night by cops who came into their cells and shook them violently every time they dosed off.
13/12/02.- This night the streets of Copenhagen had a striking similarity to a military zone. Thousands of cops made roadblocks and checkpoints everywhere in Copenhagen, especially concentrated on the bridges between the inner city and Christianshavn and Amager, where the summit is being held. All activists were checked up, arrested for no reason, body searched and then released again. Police pulled people out of their cars. They also systematically went in to the all the city-busses crossing the bridges and dragged people out into the street. Some activists where stopped and searched repeatedly every 20 meters by police who were obviously indifferent to the fact that their colleagues had just done exactly same.
At least 28 persons were arrested for minor misdemeanours or for no reason at all. A large group of Italian activists were stopped in the street and when they asked what they were charged with, the police arrested their spokesperson and 5 other people, "for not following police orders". Several people have been arrested for "attempted vandalism", because they were in possession of paint or glue, and we know of at least one person who's been arrested for being in possession of a sticker (!).
The police claim that is has been a quiet night, the mainstream media states that the activist are shocked because the police are so "well prepared". But what has happened through the night is nothing less than a long series of illegal bodysearches, random arrests and severe police harassment.

12.50 - Copenhaguen: 30 covered women in black outfits hold on iron bars the placard: "Pissed off lesbian anti-imperialists". Other placards: "Fuck Denmark", "Lesbians, bisexuals, heterosexuals, and transexual women: Let's destroy patriarchy". This block strolls outbound the limits of the main march, sidewards. Ahead, hip-hop crews rock the demonstration.
