An AFP correspondent reported that the Russian flag was painted under unknown circumstances on the stone above which a statue of the Little Mermaid, inspired by the heroine of one of the stories of the writer Hans Christian Andersen, was installed.
Danish police said they were launching an investigation into the incident, without giving any indication of the source of the move, which shows clear support for Russia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
A Copenhagen police spokesman told AFP: "We are investigating the area in order to find any evidence."
A small number of tourists in the area took pictures of the statue in the port of Copenhagen, which was vandalized on Thursday morning.
The Little Mermaid statue on a largely unfrequented promenade has been targeted several times since it was installed in 1913.
In 1964, the head of the nymph was stolen for the first time without being recovered.
In 1998, a group of vandals cut off the head of the statue again, but it was later restored.
This monument was exposed to the explosion in 2003.

The Little Mermaid comes from the famous fairy tale of Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, where the stone beneath the bronze statue is painted in three colors of the Russian flag.
Copenhagen police told Agence France-Presse that since they arrived this morning, "a case of vandalism has been filed" and "local investigations have been launched to trace traces".
It is clear that this means supporting Moscow ’ s position in the Ukraine war.
Some tourists, puzzled by this, took pictures of the damaged statue this morning.

The statue, which sits next to a relatively secluded waterfront walkway, has been vandalized several times over the years, including two burglaries of its head in 1964 and 1998, and a severed arm in 1984. In 2003, the statue was blown loose with explosives and fell into the bay.

It's the latest in a long line of attacks on Little Mermaid statue
By Rob Quinn,  Newser Staff
Posted Mar 2, 2023 10:15 AM CST

The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, one of Denmark's most famous landmarks, has been vandalized yet again, this time with the Russian flag. Authorities said Thursday that the white, blue, and red stripes of the Russian flag were painted on the stone the statue sits on, Reuters reports. Police said the vandalism was discovered early Thursday. "We are of course launching an investigation to find out who did it and when and how it happened," a police spokesman said, per Jyllands-Posten.

Denmark, like other European nations, has strongly criticized Russia's war against Ukraine. The small statue, a tribute to the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, sits off a waterfront promenade in the Danish capital. It has been vandalized many times since it was installed 110 years ago, AFP reports. It has been decapitated twice and was knocked off its base with explosives in 2003. In 2017, it was doused in red paint in a protest against whale hunting. In 2020, during worldwide protests after the death of George Floyd, the words "racist fish" were painted on the base, though Andersen scholars said they weren't aware of any racist elements in the fairy tale.

A man climbed onto the front of the BBC headquarters in central London on Wednesday with a hammer to use to smash a statue of controversial sculptor Eric Gill.
BBC staff said they heard the man screaming over the sculptor's record of child sexual abuse.
Gill was one of the most prominent British artists and sculptors of the early 20th century until his death in 1940.
But his memoirs, published decades after his death, revealed that he sexually assaulted his daughters and his family dog.
The Prospero and Ariel statue (the protagonists of William Shakespeare ’ s The Storm), sculpted by Gill, has been installed on the facade of the BBC headquarters since 1933, and in recent years there have been several campaigns to remove the statue because of its owner ’ s personality.
Police were called to the scene, where officers managed to drop the man off and arrest him about four hours after the scene began.

British police have launched a search for a man disguised as Spider-Man who carried out an attack on a controversial historic landmark in central London on Saturday.
A masked man's attack.
According to details published by British media, a masked man attacked the famous historic statue in front of the BBC building in central London, using a hammer and a chisel.
It comes days after repair work began on the previously attacked statue, a controversial statue of a character from a Shakespeare play, in which the character is said to be a man who sexually assaulted two of his daughters.
Strange appearance of Spider-Man.
The man, wearing a Spider-Man mask, was seen at dawn on Saturday, climbing on the facade of the statue and sabotaging it with a hammer and chisel, as well as raising a banner criticizing the company that is doing restoration work for the statue.
The statue, displayed near the entrance to the BBC building, dates back to 1932, but was attacked last year amid calls for its removal, and was announced to begin restoration on Tuesday, suggesting the attacker is refusing the ongoing restoration.
Police investigations
A police spokesman said: “The man reportedly damaged a statue and officers came to the scene, but it was not possible to safely detain the man due to the circumstances of the incident, including the height of the statue. ”
The BBC said on Tuesday that after “careful consideration ” taking into account the historic and cultural significance of the building, and after discussions with leading cultural organisations the repair work was agreed with all costs covered by the company ’ s insurance.
More than 3,000 people have signed an online petition calling for the statue to be removed and repairs are due to be completed by the end of June, late next month.

The defendants who toppled the Colston statue were acquitted of criminal damage charges.

The Danish police are investigating vandalism incidents involving the Little Mermaid statue.

The repeated damages to the Little Mermaid statue have raised concerns about preserving cultural heritage sites and the need for increased security.

Man charged with vandalism for throwing rats inside Danish McDonald's

Ritzau/The Local - [email protected]

A man was on Thursday arrested and charged with vandalism after an incident in which rats were thrown into a McDonald's restaurant in Denmark’s third-largest city Odense.

The incident was confirmed by Funen Police press officer Mads Boel to regional broadcaster TV2 Fyn.

The 20-year-old man was released around 9pm on Thursday and was subsequently released while the police continue investigations, Boel told news wire Ritzau on Friday.

His arrest relates to an incident on Wednesday evening when two masked people entered the McDonald's restaurant on Risingvej in Odense and released live mice and rats, Boel said.

The police communications officer did not confirm what role the 20-year-old is suspected to have had in the incident.

The arrest was made after a video began to spread on social media in which two people appear to throw the rodents into the restaurant.

Several rats and a pile of sawdust appear to fall onto the floor in the video, which also displays the text Boykot MCD/ISRAEL and Rotter i MCD foran Vollsmose, meaning “Boycott McDonalds/Israel” and “Rats in McDonald’s in front of Vollsmose”, referring to the nearby neighbourhood in Odense. An emoji of a Palestinian flag and a hand making a peace sign are also displayed.

The apparent protest in Denmark comes after similar social media videos emerged showing rats being released at McDonald’s restaurants in other countries, including one in Birmingham in the United Kingdom.

Public protests have occurred frequently in Denmark since war broke out between Israel and militant group Hamas in October, after an incursion and terror attack by Hamas on Israeli territory on October 7th targeted civilians, including the taking of hostages. Israel has since repeatedly bombarded Gaza, with heavy Palestinian civilian losses resulting.

According to Mehr News Agency, the Danish Foreign Minister, held a call with his Iranian counterpart, on Wednesday evening, during which he expressed regret for the repeated abuse of the sanctity of the Holy Quran, expressing his country's condemnation in the strongest terms of these events.
The Danish official said: "Although the main pillars of the Constitution of Denmark are freedom of expression and belief, and the organization of peaceful marches, there are some who abuse these principles, and we oppose that.
These people should not represent the Danish people.
Abdullahian: Copenhagen's position is striking...
Those responsible for offending the sacred must be punished.
For his part, the Iranian Foreign Minister described the initiative of his Danish counterpart to this phone call and the position of Copenhagen condemning the crime of violating the sanctity of the Holy Quran as a "remarkable step", stressing the need to punish all those involved in the crimes of abuse of holy sites.
The Iranian official added that freedom of expression does not mean offending religious values, and therefore such ridiculous and shameful practices are strongly condemned, as they recall the events of the pre-Islamic era.
The head of the diplomatic corps said that the recent abuses hurt the feelings of pure Muslims and followers of other religions as well, pointing to the importance of the recent resolution adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in this regard.
“In light of the recurrence of the phenomenon of insulting the Holy Quran, which leads to the spread of hatred and the consequent warnings issued through diplomatic channels, the government of Denmark must be responsible and take effective measures to prevent this behavior and inflict the most severe punishment on the abusers. ”

Copies of the Koran burned in front of a mosque and the embassies of Turkey and Russia in Denmark
The Danish capital on Friday witnessed three incidents of burning copies of the Holy Quran by extremists, the Anatolia News Agency reported.
One person burned a copy of the Koran in front of the Russian embassy in Copenhagen, the third such act in the country in a day.
The Russian embassy said in a statement: "A series of acts interspersed with the burning of the Muslim holy book (the Koran), including in front of its consular department in Copenhagen."
"The Danish authorities have turned a blind eye to these acts, which have seen public mockery of the sentiments of the faithful."
She stressed that these actions "are not a manifestation of freedom of expression and democracy, but rather a shameless and ignorant provocation aimed at fuelling inter-religious hatred and conflict among civilizations" and called for the full prevention of such practices and the accountability of the organizers.
The identity of the person who burned the Koran was not disclosed in front of the Russian embassy.
Earlier in the day, the leader of the far-right Danish party "Hard Line" Rasmus Baludan, burned a copy of the Koran again in front of the Turkish embassy in Copenhagen, under police protection, moments after it was burned in front of a mosque.
On Thursday, he announced that he would burn copies of the Koran in front of a mosque in Denmark and near the Turkish and Russian embassies, and that the relevant authorities had allowed him to do so.
Summoning the Ambassador
Earlier in the day, the Turkish Foreign Ministry summoned Danish Ambassador Danny Annan, because the authorities of his country allowed the attack on the Holy Quran in front of the Embassy of Ankara in Copenhagen.
A Turkish Foreign Ministry source said his country strongly condemned the "provocative act that constitutes a hate crime", which included an "attack" on the Koran, and the sources said the ministry had asked to withdraw permission to demonstrate.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed the Ambassador that this position of Denmark is unacceptable and stressed that it expects that the act (the attack on the Holy Quran) will not be allowed to take place.
In the same context, the spokesman of the Turkish presidency Ibrahim Kalin said that the burning of a copy of the Koran "is a provocation..
Europe must take measures against attacks on Islam. ”
"Allowing this is simplifying a bad act, mitigating hate crimes, protecting and rewarding intolerance," he said on Twitter, stressing that freedom of expression should not be used to incite, insult, insult and attack sacred values.
It is noteworthy that this week witnessed multiple insults to the Koran in Sweden and the Netherlands, where the extremist Baludan burned a copy of the Holy Quran in front of the Turkish embassy building in Stockholm last Saturday after the Swedish authorities allowed it.
Dutch extremist Edwin Wagensfeld, leader of the extremist Pegida movement, also ripped a copy of the Holy Quran and burned some of its pages in The Hague on Monday, and carried out his act after the authorities granted him permission to do so and protect the security agents.

At the direction of Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, Ambassador Yasser Hashem, Deputy Assistant Foreign Minister for Northern and Central European Affairs, summoned the Ambassador of Denmark in Cairo, where she was informed of Egypt ’ s strong indignation and condemnation and rejection, at all official and popular levels, of the burning of the Holy Quran that took place in front of the headquarters of foreign diplomatic missions in Denmark recently, including the Egyptian Embassy in Copenhagen on July 25. In the context of the alleged desire to convey the message of defending freedom of expression by continuing to demonstrate in front of the embassies of Arab and Islamic countries in Denmark.
The Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs reiterated Egypt's position that the relevant authorities in Denmark and other countries that have witnessed similar events should take concrete measures to stop such unfortunate incidents once and for all, in line with the Danish and other governments' condemnation of the burning of the Holy Quran and any sacred religious texts or symbols as an outrageous act that does not respect the religions of others and inflame feelings among members of different religions and cultures.
Ambassador Hashem stressed that the continued repetition of these unfortunate events, which have nothing to do with freedom of expression, constitutes a clear violation of freedom of belief and religious practices, and contradicts with international conventions for supporting extremist and hate speech, Islamophobia and contempt of religions. He still warns of his dreadful consequences.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Egypt condemned in the strongest terms the permission of the Swedish authorities to repeat the infringement and tearing of the Holy Quran in Stockholm.

“Let go of their anger. ”
Children among the perpetrators of the riots in France
07: 27 PM Saturday 01 Jul 2023
Paris (AFP)
Since the weekend, France has been rocked by violent night-time protests sparked by the killing of a young man near Paris by a policeman trying to escape a traffic check, but what distinguishes the riots from previous ones is that a good number of the perpetrators are, according to the authorities, “very young ” boys.
Here ’ s a glimpse of these boys who “vent their anger ” by destroying public property, burning cars, looting shops and clashing with police.
Babies.
In 2005, the suburbs of major French cities were outraged when two teenagers were electrocuted in the Clichy-So-Bois neighborhood of the Parisian suburb of Saint-Denis while trying to escape the police.
On Friday, Lille Mayor Martin Aubrey said that at that point “there were more young people on the streets and they were older.
“They were setting fire to cars and fire trucks, but we could have reached out to them. ”
On the other hand, she added, in the current protests “we have a large number of children ” with whom“ we can ’ t talk. ”
According to President Emmanuel Macron, of the 875 people arrested by police on Thursday night, “a third were young, sometimes very young. ”
According to Home Secretary Gerald Dharmanan, “the average age is 17. ”
Some of those arrested have begun to appear before the courts of the Parisian region.
Some were found to be high school students, others were apprentices, while others worked as waiters in restaurants and bars, many of whom were barely 18 years old, and most had no criminal record.
Nanterre as a model
Many of these rioters travel in small groups that are highly mobile and quick to disperse.
For example, he was in the Pablo Picasso neighborhood of Nanterre (west of Paris), where the young Nael M. lived.
His death sparked the protests, AFP journalists noted that protesters were divided into groups and had a specific way of moving.
In this neighborhood, well-organized youth groups take over the task of monitoring the entrances to the neighborhood to notify the rest when any security reinforcements are detected. At each of these entrances, a youth group is deployed, while between the group and the other roams motorcycles whose paintings are hidden.
While at the entrances these groups carry out monitoring and surveillance, there are other groups within the neighborhood whose task is to confront the police forces and fire firecrackers and arrows at them.
What distinguishes these young people is that they are constantly on the move and communicate with each other on their mobile phones and are spread out in different parts of their neighborhood, and as night falls, other young people, often dressed in black and hiding their faces behind scarves or shawls, join them.
There are scenes on social media of the actions of these young people, whom Macron said “some of them are applying on the street what they live in the video games that poisoned them. ”
In particular, the French president pointed the finger at Snapchat and TikTok platforms where “violent gatherings ” are held, saying that these platforms“ also provoke a form of simulation of violence, which leads to some form of departure from reality among the younger ones. ”
"Spark and rage."
AFP met with a number of these young people, many of whom said they were committing these acts “in order to vent the anger ” caused by their feeling of“ injustice. ”
One of the protesters in Paris, Ibrahim (pseudonym), said: "The looting will do nothing but investigate and win."
Standing in front of a looted fashion store on Rivoli Street, he said: “Breaking things down and showing our anger shows that we ’ re tired of the police ’ s blunders. ”
The 16-year-old, wearing a black sports jacket and a silver chain around his neck, said: “We ’ re tired of all those who were killed for yes or no.
(Our protest) will change a little bit some of the things that never moved. ”
The young man, who lives in Monrogue, south of Paris, said: “When we talk, when we protest, when we hold marches, it ’ s almost useless.
“When they see that we ’ re doing things, we show them that we ’ re angry, we show them that if they don ’ t move, we can get angry and break things, and that ’ s when they move. ”
Sami Zagnani, a sociology professor at the University of Rennes in western France, said the violence in France this week should be viewed from the perspective of an uprising, not a riot.
“The term ‘ riots ’ reduces this violence to simple urban delinquency while it has an undeniable political dimension ” in the context of the country ’ s growing social disparities, Zaghnani told AFP.
He explained that when these young people target schools, social centers or public libraries, what they do is “acts of destruction of what is near, ” something that“ can reflect a deep sense that these neighborhoods are worthless to the wider community, fueling a form of self-destructive uprising. ”
Stephanie Vermersch, professor of sociology and director of research at the National Center for Scientific Research, said that when these young people attack schools, they want to say that the institution is “not doing its part. ”
"There are a lot of issues that have not made progress" since 2005 in particular, she said.
The protests are not confined to large cities and their suburbs but also to small and medium-sized cities, which “confirms that what is happening here has political dimensions, ” according to Zaghnani.
