Pro-dope group in court win

PRO-marijuana group the Network Against Prohibition is claiming victory after a win in the appeal courts.

Activist Stuart Highway had a 21-day suspended jail term and a conviction for trespass quashed by Justice Steve Southwood on Monday.

The charges stemmed from a protest against Prime Minister John Howard in 2004.
Mr Stuart’s (sic) co-accused, anti-nuclear activist Justin Tutty, was ordered to do 32 hours of community work for taking part in the same incident but successfully appealed the decision earlier in the year.
