London, December 13: Riot police have arrested dozens of anti-capitalist protesters after about 200 people tried to block a section of Copenhagen’s port on the sidelines of UN climate talks in Copenhagen.
Sunday’s demonstration, called by Climate Action Justice, drew around 200 people, many of whom had already been arrested at a mass demonstration in the city on Saturday and then released.
Chanting the slogan “Hit the Production”, the demonstrators, many wearing balaclavas, were confronted by police outside the Oesterport rail station close to the headquarters of Danish shipping giant Moeller-Maersk.
