Youth house activists convicted

22.12.2008 Copenhagen Post

Several young people have been sentenced to jail time in connection with the Ungdomshuset youth house riots of 2007

In the first convictions related to the March 2007 Ungdomshuset youth house riots in Copenhagen, 15 participants were found guilty Monday on charges of possession of unlawful weapons and assaulting police officers, reported TV2 News.

Of those convicted, 11 will serve a year and three months, while three others received one-year sentences. The remaining youth, who was under 16 at the time of the riots, was given a nine-month sentence.

Ungdomshuset was raided by special forces of the domestic intelligence agency 1 March last year, and numerous weapons including Molotov cocktails and other explosives were found at the site.

Most of those arrested did not speak during the trial, neither admitting to nor denying the charges.
