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 Grunaður um að hafa frelsissvipt ferðamann í nokkrar klukkustundir Innlent Hikar ekki við að lögsækja skyldi Rafmennt nota nafn skólans Innlent Drengnum sleppt en fleiri handteknir Erlent Munaði sex atkvæðum Erlent Birgir Guðjónsson er látinn Innlent Segjast hafa lent í drónaárás á alþjóðlegu hafsvæði Erlent Kalla eftir mannúð og miskunnsemi stjórnvalda gagnvart börnum Innlent Waltz bolað úr embætti af Trump vegna Signal skilaboðanna Erlent Líkamsárásir og brotist inn í raftækjaverslun Innlent Myndaveisla: Lúðrasveit, fánar og gríðarstór stytta á Verkalýðsdaginn Innlent
