Did you ever hear about this? I sure didn't.
http://video.indymedia.org/en/2006/01/257.shtmlDuring the G8 Summit of 2003 in Evian, France, a number of activists
organised the blockade of a motorway in an attempt to stop a group of
delegates from reaching the summit. With the intention of further delaying
police and delegates, Martin Shaw from Briton, and Gesine Wenzel hung
themselves from a bridge on climbing ropes above a shallow stream. Swiss
officers Claude Poget and Michael Deiss were on the scene quickly, and
Officer Deiss cut the rope of Shaw, nearly killing him when he fell 23m. A
Swiss court case last week, which received large scale national and
international media attention, controversially found the officers free of
any responsibility for their actions. The activists now plan to appeal.http://www.aubonnebridge.net/video.php
