High profile activist arrested in Copenhagen ahead of major protest

no borders

This in advance of the big protest planned for tomorrow. No word on why Tadzio Mueller of Climate Justice Action was arrested by plainclothes police who promise to detail why when they get around to it, which will almost certainly be after the protest.

Kevin Smith, an organiser for activist group Climate Camp, said: “It’s unbelievable that in a supposed democracy, undercover police are silencing spokespeople that are criticising the climate talks. How far are the Danish authorities prepared to go to stop tomorrow’s protest from going ahead?”

Reality must not be permitted to intrude upon the almost certain failure of COP15 to accomplish anything substantive.
