The director of Greenpeace International, Kumi Naidoo, explained today that the legal services of his organization are investigating whether during the Climate Summit in Copenhagen the Danish government has violated human rights.
One month before the start of the Summit, the Government of Denmark extended the powers of the police, prison sentences increased and tightened legislation to implement preventive detention and public order to avoid altercations.
result of this legislation, the summit ended with a multitude of arrests, including the director of Greenpeace Spain, Juan López de Uralde, and three other activists of the organization, who last December 17 slipped into the gala dinner that the queen of Denmark offered to heads of State and Government at the end Climate Summit in Copenhagen.
The four remain in detention, in solitary confinement and incommunicado and without trial date, pending the police investigation on 7 January.
The director of Greenpeace International, who toured the countries of origin of the four arrested for his release, has criticized the detention has been applied to the four activists, "although Greenpeace has offered information and cooperation at all times "and" has never avoided a date with justice. "
To Kumi Naidoo, the detention of four members of Greenpeace is an" attack on human rights "as well as an act "disproportionate, unjust, unnecessary and completely lacking in compassion", as all four have 21 days in solitary confinement and spent Christmas without seeing their families.
For now, the detainees are in custody charged with forgery, impersonation public authority and trespassing.
In this regard, Naidoo warned, "Greenpeace will continue talking with the politicians but not going to stop peaceful protest actions because each year more than 300,000 people about climate change and because of the inaction of politicians. "
In fact, tomorrow, Greenpeace is already preparing a protest in The Magi, laden with coal, they go to the Danish embassy to demand the release of four detainees.
The next day, the organization has organized a vigil outside the embassy and a dozen Danish consulates in Spain.
