DENMARK: All mass arrests during COP15 last year declared illegal by Copenhagen City Court (Climate Justice Action, link): "The City Court of Copenhagen ruled today that the all the mass arrests during the Copenhagen Climate Summit in 2009 were illigal and the police have to pay 9.000 DKK in damages to the protestors, who have complaint so far. The verdict declares that all the preventive arrests from the 11th to the 16th of december 2009 were illegal, and so the actions of the police during the COP15 is not accepted by the court. Nearly 2000 people were preemptively arrested last year during the COP15 Climate Summit in Copenhagen."
