Drug dealers go on strike at Copenhagen's famed Christiania


Hash dealers at Copenhagen's famed "free city" Christiania have announced a three-day strike starting Wednesday to protest against the Danish government's plan to clean up the area, it was reported. According to the Danish news agency Ritzau, dealers said they would block off the well-known Pusher Street in response to Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen's vow to crack down on Christiania, the area in central Copenhagen founded by hippies in 1971 as part of the Danish counter-culture movement.
