On December 16, a brief solidarity demonstration to the climate justice
activists was held in front of the Danish embassy in Tallinn.
Since the weather was quite cold, only six people attended. After
standing for a while, they folded up their banner and walked away.
Only
at this moment (when the demonstration was over and nothing untoward
had occurred) did the crew of a police car which had stood nearby
spring into life. The police approached leaving activists, and
announced through a loudspeaker that everyone must stop and present
documents.
One activist had reached further away and didn’t
understand what they said, continuing to walk away. Seeing that, a
police officer took it upon himself to run after the activist and
demand that he come back to show ID. The police issued him a warning,
reminding that orders from the police should be complied with.
The activist commented that orders from the police should arrive in sensible times and places, lest they be considered nonsense.
