City officials in Washington DC have agreed to pay out $425,000 in settlements to seven people swept up in mass arrests during a demonstration against the World Bank in September 2002. The money will be split between 5 protesters and two bystanders one of whom is now an attorney with the Justice Department. Hundreds of other people were arrested at the time but are not covered under the settlement. Three other lawsuits are still pending. Police now admit they made the mass arrests without ever giving an order to disperse to people in the park.
