Illegal,brutal,big arrestation on COP 15.

Copenhagen Police Accused of Violating Human Rights at UN Summit
Danish police have indiscriminately arrested hundreds of climate justice activists during a climate change protest made up of 100,000 people that took place today in Copenhagen. Questions have been raised about the fact that the arrests occurred in a different time and place to where some trouble had momentarily flared earlier in the day. Journalists have been restricted from reporting at the site of the arrests since 1800hrs.
It's estimated that 100 people are still being held on the road in extremely cold weather, cuffed and forced into seated positions in lines (1). They have expressed severe physical discomfort and have no access to water, medical attention or toilet facilities since 1530hrs. Many activists are reported to have urinated themselves while detained on the ground.
An estimated 200 have been removed from the site and taken away in coaches. Several people are reported to have fainted around 1945hrs.
Helga Matthiassen, who was detained for an hour before being released due to an injury she had recently sustained, said, "Of course we're angry - people all over the world are angry about being lied to by governments who are making a corporate deal at the climate talks, and now when we try to protest against this on the streets we are randomly held by police.
"Not only have we been denied the right to protest, but our basic human rights have also been ignored in this ludicrous, staged police exercise. It seems Danish Police have a new motto: why just criminalise protesters, when you can dehumanise them too?" (2)

Yes! And for You doesn't matter that pollution made by the "attacked" companies cost life of the people and future of our children etc. When over one million civilians already died in the Iraq in the war for oil it's well known who is the biggest terrorist. Wake up! Turn off the TV propaganda than maybe You will see real life.

Is it so "real" to work for corporate, mainstream media to show or write what people should to consume or what they should be afraid today ? Most of the "Real" press is working for money from rich people who control the media, that's why we are creating our own independent media to make the world a better place.

The police were too kind, should have be harsher

Maybe you're not a nazi, but you sure as hell is fascist.

And if you had ever been in an activist environment you would know that the movement is not made up by one kind of people, but a wide variety of heritance, ethnicity and income.

All of your arguments are made up out of thin air.

I was there. The front of the demo was peaceful but in the back a large group was covering the faces and throwing explosives devices near other protesters even people with children. I’m glade the police was so effective to cut the trouble makers of so the rest of us peaceful marchers could continue safely

@spiritofsquatters Why is it the morons (you) who talk loudest about propaganda seem to be the most susceptible to it?

Before 9/11 eco-terrorism was the number 1 threat to the security of the United States. It cost (and still does) tax payers billions of dollars each year. So thank you police officers, you're putting these scum bags in their place.
