Armed with plastic strips some fifty people marched at lunchtime to the danish royal consulate in Malmö. The aim: To arrest the staff as a preventive measure.
MALMÖ. According to a press release the demonstrators planned to make a “preventive arrest the staff to stop more mass arrests and because the danish state violates the human rights”.
But to their disappointment the danish consulate chose to keep closed during the Friday. Maja Nilsson from the syndicalist youth association (SUF) walked in the front of the march with a bundle of plastic strips in her hand. – We had planned to go into the consulate to ask if they wanted plastic strips and sit outside in the cold. I think it’s a cowardly thing that they don’t dare answer our questions.
She was arrested herself during the demonstration in Copenhagen last Saturday and explains that she had to sit over three hours in the cold. -People around me were peeing themselves because they weren’t even allowed to go to the toilet.
The police vans stood parked in every corner of the square, but the demonstration was carried out calmly. -We understand that they do this as a symbolic act. They have the right to deliver their message, says the dialogue police Jörgen Petersson.
