Solidarity demo in Copenhagen - 16.12

Demonstration showing solidarity with political prisoners took place in Copenhagen at night on December 16.

Several dozens of people came to show their support to political prisoners. Demonstration happened in front of the Vestre Faengsel prison's gate between 22 and 23 hours. In this prison several persons who were arrested during climate protests are kept. They will face different charges.

Demo went peaceful. People were shouting slogans as loud as possible so their comrades in prison most probably heard them. There was a banner kept in front of prison gate. Activists were playing snowballs as the weather was snowy. Activists took free rides on bus from sleeping places to prison and back.
