\nDecember 11, 2006<\/p>\nPolice have arrested another alleged G20 protester today after spotting her in Melbourne Magistrates Court, where she was supporting a friend.<\/p>\n
Julia Dehm<\/em>, 24, of Brunswick West, was arrested outside court and taken by police to be interviewed, while her friend, alleged G20 protester Danya Bryx<\/a>, 22, made a successful bail application.<\/p>\n
Bryx, an arts-law student at Monash University, is facing two charges of rioting, two of affray and two of reckless conduct endangering injury<\/a> [\/person?].<\/p>\n
Police allege that as part of the protest, Bryx threw and pushed barricades at them, charged towards them and threw a metal pole.<\/p>\n
Taskforce Salver<\/strong> Detective Senior Constable Paul Topham told the court that although Bryx was not charged with injuring anyone, she was there when a police officer’s wrist was broken.<\/p>\n
He said Bryx wore a bandana over her face during the protest, and he gave a picture of a woman he claims is Bryx, to the court.<\/p>\n
Bryx’s lawyer Gerard Lethbridge said his client would fight the charges, and that her identity would be an issue.<\/p>\n
Magistrate Sarah Dawes released Bryx on bail on the condition that she live with her parents in Caulfield North and not leave the state or the country.<\/p>\n
The court heard Bryx had been due to begin a scholarship overseas next year.<\/p>\n
A police spokesman said Dehm was expected to appear in the same court this afternoon, charged with the same six offences<\/em> [Hmmm. Seems to be a pattern: riot; affray; reckless conduct endangering persons].<\/p>\n
She is the sixth person arrested in relation to the protest in Melbourne’s CBD on November 18.<\/p>\n
The protests occurred on November 18 in streets surrounding the city’s Grand Hyatt Hotel, which was hosting the G20 summit<\/a> of finance leaders from 19 countries plus the European Union.<\/p>\n
Other protesters facing charges over the riot include Aki[n] Sari, 28, David Vakalis, 19, of East Brunswick, Rosalie Delaney, 19, of Parkville, and Dominic Richardson, 24, of Brunswick<\/a>.<\/p>\n
