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 Losnar fyrr og fær ekki að koma aftur í 30 ár Innlent Íslendingur dæmdur í þrettán ára fangelsi í Rússlandi Erlent Tvíburarnir fengu ár í viðbót Innlent Kallaði eftir aftöku heimilislauss fólks: „Drepa þau bara“ Erlent Tinder-svindlarinn handtekinn í Georgíu Erlent Veit um fjögur sjálfsvíg tengd gervigreind Innlent Kallar eftir náðun Kouranis og brottvísun strax á morgun Innlent NATO og Rússland „augljóslega“ í stríði Erlent Loka fyrir heitt vatn vegna leka á Bústaðavegi Innlent Ingvar aftur kominn í leyfi frá þingstörfum Innlent
