Danish police detained 200 protesters during the night and raided their accomodation, seizing tools.

Danish Police raided an activist centre in the capital overnight, detaining 200 people and seizing protester's equipment.

A power drill, an angle grinder, shields and paint bombs were confiscated from the collection of activist groups in what protester's have called disproportionate action.

The protester's are staying together in accomodation provided by the government for use during the Cop15 negotiations.

Though there are many peaceful protests planned, police said there have been suggetions violent protest acts could follow.

It is expected police response to such action would be fierce, following the recent passage legislation which allows pre-emptive arrests and extended custodial sentences in reponse to acts of civil disobedience.
