Protesters raise their voices in Copenhagen

Protests are continuing in Copenhagen outside the United Nations Climate Change Conference.

And the protests are raging outside the walls of the conference as well. Thousands have taken to the streets outside the Bella Center (the metro stop there has been shut down) and many have been arrested. Here's an account from an arrested protester:
