Over 120 protesters face calls to drop charges after four activists were acquitted due to lack of evidence in a coal port blockade.
Over 120 protesters face renewed calls to drop charges after four activists were acquitted in Newcastle Local Court due to insufficient evidence about their movements during a November blockade of the Port of Newcastle.
The protest, organized by Rising Tide and involving over 170 arrests, aimed to pressure the federal government to halt new coal and gas projects and impose a 78% export tax on fossil fuels.
The acquittal has prompted legal advocates to argue the ruling sets a precedent, urging NSW Police to withdraw charges against 129 others, citing wasted resources and justice concerns.
Police are reviewing all cases, including recent court decisions.
The protest proceeded after the NSW government failed to block it in the Supreme Court, which had previously invalidated similar anti-protest laws.
Rising Tide plans another protest in November.
