## Resource

Activist John Minto got a $10,000 payout after the IPCA ruled police pepper-sprayed and arrested him unlawfully during a pro-Palestinian protest—contradicting their initial review and exposing inconsistencies in the officer’s account. Minto’s charges were dropped, and he’s donating the full amount to the Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa, turning the payout into a powerful statement of solidarity.
