D., 24.02.2025. Bitten by a dog – Copenhagen

February 24, 2025 – Cut Ties with Genocide, blockading Maersk Headquarters for Palestine – Copenhagen
51 to 70 years old. Bitten by a dog at the hand

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

D.: “Jamais je n’aurais pensé que le policier allait lâcher son chien sur moi”

“Quand la police a soudainement décidé de mettre fin à cette occupation non violente et au sitting dans la cour dvant l’enrée du QG, elle matraquait et gazait les manifestant.es comme s’il.elles devenaient enragé.es.

Je me suis mise face à face, calme, devant un des policiers, j’avais les bras baissés et ne le touchait pas, je ne faisais que le regarder. Soudainement j’ai vu qu’il lâchait la laisse de son chien (un chien noir avec de grandes dents, très musclé), qu’il la laissait glisser pour qu’il puisse avoir plus de possibilité de venir me mordre et là il m’a soudainement mordu à la main gauche (il a mis la moitié de ma main dans sa gueule !).

Ma main saignait et a été bleue car il l’a aussi cognée très fort avec sa tête quand il m’a foncé dessus en sautant en hauteur. Le policier était dans une file de plusieurs autres policiers qui forçaient les gens à partir et derrière ça matraquaient ferme.

Jamais je n’aurais pensé que le policier allait lâcher son chien sur moi et cela a été aussi un choc car j’étais absolument non-violente et calme devant lui.”

S., 24.02.2025. Gassed, mollested and dog-bitten – Copenhagen

February 24, 2025 – Cut Ties with Genocide, blockading Maersk Headquarters for Palestine – Copenhagen
18 to 30 years old. Gassed, mollested and bitten by a dog although he was not part of the action but documenting it as a film-maker

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

S.: “I was suddenly bitten by a police dog in my left leg, holding me back”

“I was at the Mask off Maersk mass action against their headquarters in Copenhagen as a documentary filmmaker, going around with a camera amongst the other press people, not taking part in the action directly and not wearing the same clothes as the actionists.

Firstly I was hit with tear gas, alongside several of the other press people, and while trying to get away the police kept us trapped among the rest of the actionists which the police had encircled. I was handled brutally by the police being both pushed and dragged several times in different directions while trying to get away from the place, clearly running away from the location of the action.

At one moment the police pushed me over an obstacle making me trip and fall over on the grass on the other side. Shortly after getting to my feet again I was pushed again by police standing outside of the first police line. When I got away i tried to walk quicker away from the madness, but then I was suddenly bitten by a police dog in my left leg, holding me back. Luckily the teeth did not go through my skin but it ripped open holes in my pants.

Then I finally got away from the chaos, but my eyes and my breathing was damaged for several hours after due to the tear gas.”

R., 24.02.2025. Mollested and pepper-sprayed – Copenhagen

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

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

R.: “Around me, I saw the use of batons, dogs, knees on people, chaotic and very dangerous behaviour”

“We let the police know that we would leave within one hour, but then all of a sudden, they became very violent. I had put on safety glasses because they were suddenly spraying tear gas and pepper spray in big amounts, then 2 policemen came up to me, and pulled these glasses off, threw them on the ground and sprayed pepperspray in my eyes.

The next moment I am being pulled back and forth by policemen, while becoming dizzy and losing my sight. I raised my hands and tried to show that I wanted to leave, get out of the blurry group of shouting and pushing policemen, but they kept on pushing me back onto other people. This resulted in me being on top of other people (comrades), and being pushed and pushed again and again. Around me, I saw the use of batons, dogs, knees on people, chaotic and very dangerous behaviour.”
