12dec09

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.

just images of the demonatration - no pics from the arrests!

A small gallery of my images of the 12/12 march. Unfortunately no photos of the arrests as I was too far away when it happened.

Global day of Action.

One hundred thousand protesters braved near freezing temperatures and took over the Danish capital, Copenhagen, to crank up the heat on world leaders at the United Nations Climate Summit (COP15) and demand climate justice.
