Building at center of protests razed
From Times Wire Reports
Masked demolition workers protected by police tore down a Copenhagen building that served as a makeshift cultural center for Denmark’s anarchists and disaffected youth, ignoring sobs and screamed obscenities from a crowd of young people.
Four days of riots followed the owner’s decision to evict squatters from the building. The violent demonstrations were Denmark’s worst in a decade and drew people from across Northern Europe. More than 650 people were arrested and 25 injured.
