All Charges Against Space Hijackers Dropped

Update: The Space Hijackers are going to sue the cops over their arrest at the G20.

There’s reason to celebrate this morning, and we join Leah Borromeo in raising a toast to the Space Hijackers’ strength and determination through the several month ordeal of defeating the charges brought against them for their action at the G20.

Leah has posted an excerpt of the letter the Hijackers received from their lawyers on her site, and the official reasons – insufficient evidence – were not dissimilar to those in the dismissal of a similarly high-profile case brought against Steve Kurtz of Critical Art Ensemble.
