OTTAWA, February 24, 2006 - Today, 12 protesters involved with the Action Committee of Non-Status Algerians were acquitted of mischief in relation to the occupation of the Immigration Minister's offices in downtown Ottawa on May 29, 2003, more than two-and-a-half years ago.

[A]fter spending almost ten-hours in demanding a meeting with the Minister or a senior-level official, an Ottawa-police tactical squad invaded the office, and used tasers (electrical guns) to shock four protesters, while others were beaten with open fists.
