Four protesters sentenced over riots at the G20 summit in Melbourne in November 2006, have had their sentences reduced on appeal.
The protesters pleaded guilty to charges of riot and were convicted in the Melbourne Magistrates Court earlier this year.
The County Court overturned convictions for Sofia Todorova, Rosalie Delaney, and Beth Nathan, who are in their twenties, but sentenced them to do community work.
Twenty-five year Julia Dehm had her suspended jail term reduced to a community based order, with conviction.
Delaney, Todorova and Dehm have each been ordered to pay almost $14,000 compensation.
