Judge Declines To Drop Charges Against Greenpeace Activists

A Hamilton County judge has declined to drop burglary charges against nine Greenpeace activists who staged a protest at the headquarters of Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble last March. The judge rejected arguments the charges violate the protestors' rights of free speech. The group was protesting the use of palm oil in some of the company's consumer products.
