11th Dec timeline

December 11, 2009 14:45 - The Don't Buy The Lie - Not Your Business demo has finished after people dispersed to different places [see KanalB video]. It's confirmed that the fire brigade visited Ragnhildsgade and said that the 2nd floor could not be used for sleeping.

December 11, 2009 13:35 - The people who were blocked in at
Dronning Louises Bro (Dronning Louise's Bridge) by police are being released and allowed to walk away, but with police shrouding them on both sides.  The police have also got dogs out but seemingly more as a provocation or deterrant than to be used against protesters.  Feeling is that the protest is dispersing and people are possibly calling it a day, heading to info points.

December 11, 2009 13:10 - Reports of approximately 200 people (and 2 public buses) on Dronning Louises Bro being penned in by two lines of riot police [timblepic], who have effectively surrounded them on the city side of the bridge.  There are about 8 police waggons present.  Protestors reported to be heading east into the city.  There are also a number of people (100) who are on the West side of the bridge blocked out of the city by the two police lines. People chanting "Not Your Business!" See Qik Video
