Charges Dropped Against Protestors 22. júní 2006 12:54 Íslandsvinir mótmæla Mótmæli Mótmælaganga Hlemmur Laugarvegur Earlier this month, Minister of Foreign Affairs Valgerður Sverrisdóttir filed charges against a group of protestors who marched carrying a banner that read: "Drown Valgerður Not Iceland," a reference to the flooding that will occur when the Kárahnjúkar dam project - which Sverrisdóttir has strongly supported - is complete. Sverrisdóttir took this as a threat against her life, but the case was investigated and subsequently dropped by Reykjavík police, who apparently saw no reason to believe Sverrisdóttir's life was threatened. While Sverrisdóttir will not comment on the matter, she did indicate that it could be possible for her to take the case to the state attorney's office. - pfn News News in English Mest lesið Sagður hafa tæmt sjóði flokksins og rekur nýja stjórn úr húsnæðinu Innlent Halla forseti blandar sér í götuljósaumræðuna Innlent Mikill viðbúnaður vegna eftirfarar á Sæbraut Innlent Reiða fram rúma milljón fyrir Jakub Innlent Málið rannsakað sem tilraun til manndráps Innlent Telja Múmínlundinn klárt brot á höfundarétti Innlent Tilraun langtímakjarasamninga hafi mistekist Innlent Steini frá Straumnesi látinn Innlent Málið týndist í kerfinu og reyndist á endanum fyrnt Innlent Óku á yfir 60 og missa ökuréttindin Innlent
