A motion to dismiss the charges against six Occupy Honolulu protesters arrested in November for refusing to leave a city park after it closed is still undecided and a trial is set for next month.

Sanjeev Ranabhat, who’s been covering the Occupy movement for Civil Beat, was at court this afternoon. He tells Inside Honolulu that the trial is set for March 7.

Ranabhat said deputy prosecuting attorney Catherine Lowenberg presented new information that 16 different parks in the district that spans from Manoa to Aiea are open 24 hours. Protesters had argued that their constitutional rights were infringed by overnight park closures at Thomas Square.

They complained Wednesday that information was not readily available about 24-hour parks that would have made more suitable Occupy homebases, Ranabhat said. Their pro bono attorney, Erik Kvam, asked for more time to review the new information. No decision was reached on the pre-trial motion to dismiss the case.

Eight protesters were arrested that November night, Ranabhat said. Two have since pleaded no contest, paid a $50 fine and left the island.
