Hundreds arrested in Danish riots
Activists clashed with police for a second night in Copenhagen
The street protests
Danish police have arrested almost 600 people in Copenhagen, in three days of violent protests over the eviction of squatters from a youth centre.
Some 2,000 people attended a peaceful demonstration on Saturday, but police are braced for more clashes overnight.
The riots started after an anti-terror squad raid to evict squatters from the Youth House (Ungdomshuset) building.
Vandals have also painted Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid statue pink, but it is unclear if this is linked to the riots.
Left-wing activists have occupied the youth centre in the Noerrebro district since 1982, but it was sold by the city in 2000 to a Christian fundamentalist group.
That group obtained a court eviction order last year - but the activists vowed not to leave, saying the council had no right to sell the building while it was still in use.
