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 Metnaðarfullar malbikunarauglýsingar hluti af væb-kúltúrnum Innlent Mátti ekki lána sér pening úr eigin fyrirtæki Innlent Pilturinn er fundinn Innlent Fundu jöklafýlu í Þórsmörk vegna hlaupsins Innlent Ógeðsleg aðkoma að íbúðinni eftir Airbnb-gesti Innlent Sjúklingar óttist dómhörku vegna þyngdarstjórnunarlyfja Innlent Ökumaður bifhjólsins látinn Innlent Vill hefna vinar síns Bolsonaro með 50 prósenta tollum á Brasilíu Erlent Bindur vonir við „einn inn, einn út“ áætlun í innflytjendamálum Erlent „Það er engin ástæða til að gefast upp“ Innlent
