Scores Arrested in Reclaim Power Action at COP15

Hundreds of arrests have been made here in Copenhagen as climate justice advocates attempt a massive act of civil disobedience to disrupt the COP15 talks. Earlier today Danish police detained people around the city who were among the thousands making their way to the Bella Center for the Reclaim Power action. Organizers had vowed to stage a peoples assembly inside the summit to amplify calls for climate justice. As part of the action, hundreds of summit delegates and attendees marched through the Bella Center halls to join the protesters outside. Police have used pepper spray and batons against protesters as they converged on the site. The Peoples Assembly took place on a street near the Bella Center with hundreds of people in attendance.
