S., 24.02.2025. Mollested, batonned and gassed – Copenhagen

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

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.”

F., 24.02.2025. Mollested, batonned and gassed – Copenhagen

February 24, 2025 – Cut Ties with Genocide, blockading Maersk Headquarters for Palestine – Copenhagen
31 to 50 years old. Mollested, batonned, pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed

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

F. : “One policeman hit me hard with a baton”

“A couple of hundreds activists blockaded the head quarters of Maersk, to protest the shipping of (parts of) arms to Israel and their complicity in the genocide in Palestine.

We sat close to the main entrance for a couple of hours and decided around 12h to leave at 13h, because we had achieved our target of shutting down the head quarters for the day and receive press attention.

Somewhere between 12h-13h, the police decided to start moving on us – even though they probably knew we were about to leave. They sprayed pepper spray and tear gas and used their batons on the sitting crowd. Some police men came close with police dogs to the right.

Me and a friend were pulled up and started walking away from the window. We were pushed down on the sitting crowd a couple of times while trying to move away. One policeman hit me hard with a baton on the back of my upper right leg. The bruise is about 20×20 cm.”

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

I. : “I have never felt this scared before in my life”

“When we tried to enter the terrain of Maersk, we were immediately met with violence. The police took out their batons and started hitting us, even when we were not trying to get through them. They hit me on my upper body and my friends on their head.

After 4 hours of blockade the police used tear gas, pepper spray, and physical violence to get us away from the terrain. Me and 4 friends could not get away because of the crowd that was stopping us. While we were standing there with nowhere to go, the police kept hitting us with batons.

When I told them they were using disproportionate violence, they hit me in my face. We told them to stop and said we could not go anywhere but they kept hitting and pushing us. They hit me several times, once very hard on my upper leg, which now has a big bruise. They used more tear gas, even when everyone was trying to leave.

I have never felt this scared before in my life. They kept chasing us and threatening us, even when we could not breath and were panicking. This violence was disproportionate and I have had flashbacks which have caused me to feel very anxious, even now, after the action has ended.”

A., 24.02.2025. Batonned and tear-gassed – Copenhagen

February 24, 2025 – Cut Ties with Genocide, blockading Maersk Headquarters for Palestine – Copenhagen
18 to 30 years old.batonned, tear-gassed

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

A.: “Having to move in the direction of the teargas caused loss of breath and puking for several minutes and throat ach and headache that lasted until the following day.”

“While sitting in front of the HQ of Maersk, I saw the police first use pepperspray against unarmed, activists sitting down. Then I saw them using batons to hit people.

An activist that had just been hit lay on the ground on her belly in between several police officers, she was crawling away. From my sitting position in front of the police, I tried to cover her head so she would not be hit more or so the police would not stand on top of her.

This prompted the police to hit me with a baton on my shoulder and right arm until I was laying flat and another activists carried me several meters further. There I stood for a short moment while someone checked if I was OK and while I was looking for a friend. When everyone in that area in front of the building stood up and we were being shoved away, we couldn’t get away because of the large crowd and there was only one direction to move.

Many people that were repeatedly getting hit were trying to get away but could not. Activists that pleaded to “please, stop” were still being hit with batons. That’s when I received several more hits on my left arm while I was trying to move away from the cops in a direction that I could not.

Then tear gas exploded in the crowd in the direction we had to leave and the people dissipated. Having to move in the direction of the teargas caused loss of breath and puking for several minutes and throatache and headache that lasted until the following day.”

M., 24.02.2025. Batonned and tear-gassed – Copenhagen

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

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

M. : “At some point the pain became unbearable, I shouted very loudly, they didn’t stop”

“The police started suddenly to attack and remove people. At first an activist, I think a girl, quite small in appearance, was grabbed and thrown on the floor by the police. I tried to drag the person between me and the activist next to me so that we could cover them, I was scared they might get trampled by policemen.

In that situation a cold liquid was sprayed on us, I suppose water. The police started beating us, so quickly I lost track of everybody around me, trying to protect myself from batons. While I was being beaten, I think from 2-3 agents, another agent pressed their thumb under my right ear, that caused extreme pain and I tried to move my head so to detach them from me, since I was also protecting myself from the beating, but it didn’t work.

At some point the pain became unbearable, I shouted very loudly, they didn’t stop, I managed to push the hand away from me with my arm, after which I closed myself more into a ball, to avoid being gripped again. The policeman tried several times to grip me again, unsuccessfully, while the others continued to beat me.

The gang beating stopped suddenly, when another activist that knows me fell next to me and called for me, trying to grab me, and then a medic arrived, shouting at the policemen to stop and pushing them away from me. He/She/They managed to get me up and walk me away, even if I struggled to walk, since they had beaten me also next to the right knee. He/She/They tried to sit me on a wall nearby, but another policeman impeded that and pushed us away, even if the medic protested.

We finally found a spot where He/She/They left me after getting sure I was doing good enough to be left with another activist from the group, who was nearby. The medic recognized me also afterwards, at the end of the march, checking again my situation. Soon after I was dropped with the other activist, the teargas was used. We heard an explosion, then a teargas bomb exploded very next to us, I started to run dragging my comrade with me, then she slowed down and I slowed with her. Then I breath the teargas. I couldn’t breath anymore, my throat felt like stuck with air, but empty of oxygen. I panicked and started walking away as fast as I could.

I shouted more than once that I couldn’t breath, I noticed a person puking next to me by the side of the road, but in the panic didn’t know what to do and walked. People from the park took me and helped me wash my eyes and clean my face. I slowly regained myself and made contact with some people from my group. Some of us went missing and we managed to completely collect each other only later that day.”

S. : “Police started hitting me with baton when I was sitting on the ground with many other people”

“Police violence I experienced myself: Police started hitting me with baton when I was sitting on the ground with many other people (maybe 100 sitting there). Those polices that started hitting didn’t say anything before they started.

We had sat there many hours already and before the violence towards me I had heard from comrades that police wants us to leave and will use violence if we don’t. They started to hit us and forced us to stand up. I was mostly hit to hands and thighs. My head was not hit.

I was not resisting to move after I had stood up but police was hitting me even though I was trying to get out from the place as they apparently wanted us to do. I also fell down once because of pushing by the police.

Police threw tear gas in front of us and still forced us to walk to that direction. They grabbed me from my clothes and pushed roughly forward. I walked through the tear gas and had to stop because of hardness of breathing.

Police was following us with dogs and batons so I kept walking away.

Police violence I witnessed but didn’t experience myself: Police was dragging people by the concrete. They sprayed pepper spray in peoples faces.”
