Palæstinas Plads >> by the court house >> to Christiania, folk kitchen
Doing the climate summit in Copenhagen, about 2000 people got detained, while they amongst thousand of other people, tried to get their voices heard and set a political agenda in the climate debate. Some of them have received groundless charges with legal proccesses that have already begun.
About 20 of all the arrested were kept in custody for weeks by the police. Out of those, 7 people are facing further legal proceedings and potential hard judgement. The 7 people are accused on basis of organizing legal demonstrations.
Through out the whole year of 2009, the danish government and the danish police exercised an intense campaign against those with a critical opinion to the high political climate summit. The tools were massive scare story in the media of protesters and activists plus the police armament of weapons and economical resources. The right wing governments initiative was the new law legislation Lømmelpakken, that is now being used for furthermore criminalizing of political activities. The police used those tools for preventive arrest of two thousand people, months tapping of many peoples phones, spying and raiding private homes and sleeping spaces, and also in general to oppress freedom of speech and movement.
We are many that are shattered from this treatment and the development of a so called democracy.
We demand that this criminalization of political movement end now! and that the danish government drops all charges against those who are charged on basis of or ganizing legal demonstrations, plus all charges against others that was arrested during the COP15. The charges are groundless and are being used for justifying the extreme use of power from the police and to scare of the civil society from protesting and demonstrate.
The first trials against the 7 charged activists starts the 16th. March and continue the 19th. The two that is going to court is Natasha Verco and Noah Weiss, they were both preventive arrested and has been through 3 weeks of police custody, unjustified isolation, now they are facing longer sentences, high penalty and deportation from Denmark. They are both accused on basis of organizing legal demonstrations.
