Solidarity action to climate justice activists

On December 16, a brief solidarity demonstration to the climate justice activists was held in front of the Danish embassy in Tallinn.

Since the weather was quite cold, only six people attended. After standing for a while, they folded up their banner and walked away.

Only at this moment (when the demonstration was over and nothing untoward had occurred) did the crew of a police car which had stood nearby spring into life. The police approached leaving activists, and announced through a loudspeaker that everyone must stop and present documents.

One activist had reached further away and didn't understand what they said, continuing to walk away. Seeing that, a police officer took it upon himself to run after the activist and demand that he come back to show ID. The police issued him a warning, reminding that orders from the police should be complied with.

The activist commented that orders from the police should arrive in sensible times and places, lest they be considered nonsense.
