18 to 30 years old. Molested, batonned, tear-gassed

Cut Ties with Genocide, action in front of Maersk offices, Copenhagen – February 24, 2025

F. : “I was beaten at least 10 times, in my back, arms and legs”

“We had a lockdown of the Mærsk headquarters. Police beat us with batons, used teargas and dogs to get us to leave the area.

I was never given a warning by the police that I had to leave, yet they used extreme measures to get us to leave, without attempting to peacefully remove us. All of us were peaceful.

I was just by the police barricade, and they regularly beat us with batons and pushed their knees in our backs while we were just sitting there. No attempt at moving us was made.

When they decided to get us to leave, they pushed us so much that we couldn’t move, and kept beating use en though we had nowhere to go. They then threw tear gas in the direction of the exit, essentially trapping us.

I was beaten at least 10 times, in my back, arms and legs, despite trying to yell that I was trying to get out. Many others had it way worse.”

F., 24.02.2025. Pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed – Copenhagen

February 24, 2025 – Cut Ties with Genocide, blockading Maersk Headquarters for Palestine – Copenhaguen
51 to 70 years old. Pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed

Cut Ties with Genocide, action in front of Maersk offices, Copenhagen – February 24, 2025

F. : “The police had no legitimate reason to spray us or detonate tear gas on us”

“We had implemented a blockade of the Maersk HQ office and were about to leave.

The police put on gas masks and started beating activists, spraying pepperspray and detonating tear gas grenades. Some tear gas granades were thrown in front of the leaving activist crowd, which was completely unnecessary.

I got a lot of tear gas into my mouth, nose, eyes and throat. It was painful and difficult to breathe.

The police had no legitimate reason to spray us or detonate tear gas on us. We were acting completely nonviolent and the Maersk office was already closed. The police had no reason to implement the eviction request submitted by Maersk.”

O., 24.02.2025. Batonned, pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed – Copenhagen

February 24, 2025 – Cut Ties with Genocide, blockading Maersk Headquarters for Palestine – Copenhaguen
18 to 30 years old. Batonned, pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed

Cut Ties with Genocide, action in front of Maersk offices, Copenhagen – February 24, 2025

O. : “Worst of all was the way they beat me repeatedly”

“While blockading the main entrance 3-4 police officers tried to pull me with them. I held fast to my comrades and being between two bollards my body was twisted and squeezed painfully. They also used a pain grip on my right hand.

Worst of all was the way they beat me repeatedly. They hit me mostly in my head as my backpack shielded my back. They also pressed down on my head and slammed it to the concrete underneath me. In the end they gave up and I was left curled up on the ground gasping for air.

Later in the protest, without provocation, they started to use pepper-spray and later tear gas. I was mostly victim to the tear gas. This happened while they beat and pushed protestors around us causing people to fall on each other and people being buried by the mass of people, myself included.

When I got free I fumbled through the pepper spray and barely dodged one that tried to spray me point blank. After that I got wet wipes from medics and escaped the area.

After the protest my whole body, especially my head hurt. The day after my neck is excruciatingly painful.”
