Action Over: Activists Arrested!
Six of our activists (4 Finns, 1 Dutch and 1 German) have been arrested - carried from inside the Ministry of Forestry and Agriculture - and away to a police station. However, it seems that the police were quite courteous about the whole thing, despite everything!
Meanwhile, our climbers managed to get down off the building safely - and didn't get arrested. Janet, UK activist and climber, said that the weather was lovely up there, "nice and sunny, but very cold - bitter. We got down without incident, and the police took our names and addresses".
So far, the Ministry for Forestry and Agriculture has yet to comment on our actions...
Update 15:30. Activists have been fined, and released.
