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.”
