> sentenced to two months jail and two months probation plus legal  
> costs resulting from their arrests during the COP 15. It is an  
> outrage. Both of them were totally committed to the non-violent  
> direct action of the Peoples Assembly and it seems to me that the  
> Danish police needed to have a couple of scalps to justify their  
> extraordinary behaviour during the COP15. We need to think about how

> Background: During the "Reclaim Power" action of 16 December 2009,  
> Stine and Tannie were pulled off the sound truck by police and  
> arrested. The police claim that they were inciting violence. In the  
> first hearing last year, they received a 5 month suspended sentence  
> which was appealed by the prosecutor/state/police. Today's decision  
> is from the appeal court:
>
> "Stine and Tannie's court case that had been appealed to the second  
> level
> of court has finished today. The two CJA spokespersons have been
> sentenced to two months jail plus two months probation, and to pay the
> costs of court.
>
> "Climate Collective underlines once again its indignation for this
> attempt of holding two people responsible for the actions of a  
> movement,
> and expresses its strongest solidarity to Stine and Tannie.
