And the city of Seattle has agreed to pay $1 million to protesters arrested during the World Trade Organization demonstrations seven years ago. The money will be split by 160 protesters who were arrested in the city’s Westlake Park on December 1, 1999. In addition, the city agreed to seal the arrest records of the protesters. Attorney Tyler Weaver said, “I am hopeful that this case will send a message not only to the City of Seattle but to cities around the country that mass arrests of peaceful, law-abiding protesters will not and cannot be tolerated.”
