At least three activists who were jailed during the COP15 summit protests have been released.
When appering in court to have their sentence prolonged the prosecuter didn't see it fit that the prisoners should stay in detention. Therefore several activists were released amongts them an australian and an american citizen. They remain however chargd with the crimes of vandalism, breach of the peace and assaulting the police. Their trials are due in March.
It is unclear what is happening with the rest (and less fameous) prisonners but it is confirmed that more than the two have been released today. I will update this article when i learn more.
