WEF Protests In Davos

During the meetings of the World Economic Forum police turned Davos, Switzerland into a fortress intimidating and arresting demonstrators. Despite this several protesters got in dressed as skiers. In Zurich they were blasted by water cannon and tear gas in the freezing temperatures and people attending NGO seminars were arrested. By Jan 29th, 121 non-swiss nationals were still detained.

Demonstrators gathered at Swiss embassies across Europe protesting at the police brutality and demanding the release of arrestees.

On Jan 27th, 7000 people gathered in Madrid in solidarity with Davos protesters and with immigrants and refugees around the world as new fascist immigration laws are made in Spain.
