Account of mass arrest experience on Dec 12th

On Saturday 12th December, myself and my friend were arrested along with 966 other protestors whilst participating in a peaceful climate change protest in Copenhagen. We were never given any explanation as to why we were arrested and were treated abusively by the Danish police. In total, we were detained for 8 and a half hours. In the attached document, myself and my friend have written up a chronological account of what happened. This includes examples of illegal behaviour by police and breaches of human rights. The Danish police must be held to account for their actions. We must not let their disgraceful and illegal tactics set a prcedent for future police operations at peaceful demonstrations.   We look forward to your help in raising awareness of this issue.   Many thanks,   Liam Raftery and James Davies
