Prison radio report - 9 hour detention for Japanes

In yesterdays 100,000+ people demo on the streets of copenhagen in CHANGE THE SYSTEM, NOT THE CLIMATE, the Danish Police swooped in and arrested a large number of people for nothing. We talk to a Japenese man who has traveled here with the SOCIAL AND CLIMATE JUSTICE CARAVAN, who was arrested with this group. He was contained on the streets for an hour when he was in the area near the black block. He was taken with 300 or 400 other people to cages in a massive warehouse where people were held for 9 hours. It is important to point out that there had not been any signs of trouble from this group and the police swooped for no reason in what can only be described as a "pre-emptive strike" to take people out of the demo. They have the authority to do this after recent changes in law under "prevention of terrorism" acts.
