Protestors who are asylum seekers in Iceland and their supporters camped overnight at Austurvöllur parliament square in Reykjavik as part of their protest.

This morning dozens of protestors were camped in the area and had spent the night sleeping  outside in the frost. One protestor said that the cold was better than staying at Ásbrú, the refugee camp on the Reykjanes peninsula.

On Monday, protests ended in a scuffle between police and protesters with the former using pepper spray on the latter.
