Police provocateurs Copenhagen 2002

For months the police and intelkligence agencies have claimed that Copenhagen would be a battlefield of raging violence during the EU-summit December 12th-14th. The demonstrations - with the major ones Saturday December 14th - totalling around 20.000 persons were focusing on the political issues and disciplined - and no violence, exept for what was created by the police themselves by provocations. More than 6000 policemen including a number of under cover agents, propped up as anarchist demonstrators, who acted as infiltrators and provocateurs, held Copenhagen in a tight grip.

The police cannot avoid winning: If there is violence, they will tell: We predicted it. If there is none, they'll say: We prevented it.


The following photos tell another story. They are from the International Demonstration Saturday December 14th, where more than 10000 participated.
