Our Climate Not Your Business!



The Our Climate Not Your Business protest meets in Nytorv Square




Protestors march to the road towards city hall, but are blocked off by the police






The police block both ends of the street, allowing only press to leave and enter freely












The police create a blockade



The protestors, angry for being held, confront the police






The police allow the protestors to continue their march. Soon, the march has spread across many streets








People watch the march from the windows of nearby buildings






Activists are arrested during the protest






Protestor-medics join the march in case anybody is hurt by police or other protestors




The police continue to block of areas where the protestors are marching








The protestors are kept still for almost twenty minutes, some take a seat






Checkpoints are made where protestors are searched for contraband






Protestors chant "our climate, not your business" along with "anti-capitalism"










Police move the protestors onto a bridge near Norreport and trap them between either side. They move tighter and tighter until the protestors are squeezed into a small space. The protest ends and 60 protestors are detained
