Cut Ties with Genocide, action in front of Maersk offices, Copenhagen – February 24, 2025
S. : “Even as we were leaving they fired tear gas”
“We were sitting outside the entrance of Maersk HQ to protest Maersk shipments to and from Israel. On our way there the cops beat some comrades while we were crossing the police line. We sat down outside the building and the cops shoved to get through and stand by the glass doors. They shoved journalists and legal observers, threw protesters around to “herd us” and finally covered the place in tear gas and pepper spray. Even as we were leaving they fired tear gas, causing people to panic and escalating the situation for no reason.”
