Police | Aggressively yelling troublemakers appeared at the drag queen’s children’s story lesson in Oodi – Extensive police task

Helsinki The central library in Oodi had an extensive police mission on Friday. There were eight police units and at least one motorcycle policeman.

“However, the police didn’t close the building,” a reporter from HS was there Tatu Helle told.

At the time of the event, a drag fairy tale workshop aimed at children was about to start in Oodi.

An employee of the library told Heltee that troublemakers arrived to disrupt the event. According to the employees interviewed by HS, the troublemakers shouted aggressively and disrupted the story lesson.

According to HS information, there were a few dozen troublemakers. The rioters also distributed anti-trans flyers.

The police and Ood’s guards have removed the troublemakers from Ood’s premises. According to the police, no arrests were made.

A fairy tale was, according to Ood’s program information, aimed at 1-5 year olds. The storyteller was drag artist Gaylien 2000. The main theme of Satutuoki was the promotion of diversity and self-acceptance as it is.

Helle says that she met young people outside the library who had a rainbow flag with them. The young people say that the troublemakers shouted slogans disparaging homosexuality at them.

A Polish ministerial delegation also visited Oodi on Friday.
