G8 summit protest cases dropped
The procurator fiscal has decided to drop about a fifth of the remaining cases against protesters arrested during the G8 summit in Scotland.

The Crown Office said proceedings against 59 people were discontinued, with 240 cases still outstanding.

A total of 358 arrests were made during the gathering of world leaders at Gleneagles in July.

A leading human rights lawyer has repeated his call for an inquiry into police handling of protests. <snip>
