Five opposition members acquitted of "procession" charges
Thursday, October 8, 2009 at 12:03PM I will be very surprised if there is no appeal filed by the DPP, but for now, let us rejoice in the decision.
The five were cleared of charges of taking part in a procession without a valid permit on Sept 16, 2007. If convicted, they would have faced a fine of up to $1,000 for the offence under the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order & Nuisance) Act.
