The Dutch Ministry of Justice has formally announced that it will not be pressing charges against 125 people arrested on the night of 16-17 June after they attempted to disturb the sleep of top European politicians, including President Chirac of France and the UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. The 125 were originally arrested on the grounds that they broke an injunction banning them from holding demonstrations in designated areas under articles 5 and 9 of the Algemene Plaatselijke Verordening (General Local Decree).
