Protests in Denmark Continue

HeadlineMar 06, 2007

In Copenhagen, Denmark protests continued yesterday as the city demolished a building housing an anarchist youth and cultural center. The eviction of activists living in the building sparked a series of protests and clashes with police over the weekend. More than 650 people were arrested. On Monday, activists rallied outside the building as the demolition began.

Ken Jansen: “It’s a symbol of Danish culture and Danish nationalism. I think it is a pity that it is torn down. It’s a building that actually turned this year 110 years old, and we got so much culture in that house.”

Protests were also held last night outside the Danish Embassy in Oslo.
