Dear comrades,

We would like to share a few words about what happened on Dronning's Louises Bro during the Internationalist, Revolutionary 8th of March demonstration.

As many of you noticed, a person was trying to get inside the body of our demonstration, being invasive and disrespectful towards the demo guards and the participants. During this incident, some of our group members reached out to the police present during the demo. True to their form, the police acted in a really escalating way, forcing the person to sit down with his hands behind his back.

A couple of the demo guards and the police contact intervened in order for the person to be allowed to walk away. That was what eventually happened without further consequences for the person, besides the already severe consequence of police violence.

This decision to involve the police reflects unpreparedness from our organising group, various levels of privileges and blind spots, and lack of supporting structures for our security team. However, nothing can excuse such action being taken as part of a revolutionary, internationalist demo. Inviting the police inside the demo should never be an option, while we should be able to protect and safeguard our own spaces and comrades.
