Hate Crimes at Outgames

Two men charged with hate crimes at the World Outgames in Copenhagen are held in custody until August 4th. The two men are charged with violently assaulting three World Outgames participants just hours after the Grand opening show Saturday night, Pride Radio Denmark (PridRadio.dk) reports.

A group of three young Outgames participants from Norway, Sweden and England was treated for bruises at the emergency ward after being kicked and bashed by the two men just feet away from City Hall Square, where the Grand opening ceremony had taken place just minutes earlier. Copenhagen Police arrested two men aged 28 and 33 who are now in custody until the 4th of August.

Lord Mayer of Copenhagen Ritt Bjerregaard condemns the violence, “Regrettable and deplorable that someone can behave so irresponsible”, the Lord Mayer said in a statement released yesterday.
