TWO ARRESTED AFTER CLIMBING
BANNER DROP IN THE HEART OF COPENHAGEN
Two activists from got arrested after an 'Egality' action, dropping a banner in Copenhagen's town hall square today (see pictures attached). (1) (2) The Banner, 8x5 meters, shows two arrows, "democracy" and "Copenhagen", pointing in opposite directions.
James Sadri, an Egality activist that participated in the action, said: "The fight for democracy is world wide: in Iran, my cousins are struggling for democracy, and here in Copenhagen we are doing the same."
"We dropped the banner to say that unless we democratise the international system, we will never achieve just or sustainable solutions to global problems".
Mark Philipp, an Egality activist from the UK described the action: "Dressed as construction workers, a small team scaled the Hopenhagen advert in the central square before dropping the banner over the building,".
He went on to say, "we wanted to say that a democratic summit - where people are represented, not states - is the only way to achieve a just agreement. Without it, heavy polluting countries are dictating to everyone else."
