On 24 February 2025, demonstrators blocked the entrance to shipping company Maersk’s Copenhagen headquarters, protesting the company’s alleged transportation of military equipment to Israel.

Around 200 protesters gathered, with 10–15 climbing onto the roof; police intervened, arresting 20 after deeming the action illegal on private property and issuing repeated warnings.

Authorities stated proportionate force was used with no injuries reported, but activists accused them of brutality involving tear gas, pepper spray, batons, and police dogs. A medic reported 60–80 protesters suffered contusions, open wounds from baton blows and kicks, sprains, and pain from restraints.

The Business and Human Rights Centre invited Maersk to respond; it's response can be found above.
