Charges Dropped for 100 G20 Protesters
--------------------------------------



A Canadian judge has dropped charges for nearly 100 people arrested
during the recent protests against the G20 in Toronto due to lack of
evidence. More than 1,100 were arrested during the summit in the largest
mass arrest in Canada’s history. Seventeen activists still face
conspiracy charges and have been placed under strict restrictions that
prevent them from participating in any demonstrations or from
communicating with each other.
