In its resolution, the prosecutor said there was no sufficient evidence to prove Castro led or organized the September rally outside the Discaya compound, where demonstrators expressed anger over alleged corruption.

Police had accused Castro of violating the Public Assembly Act for taking part in a protest without a permit.
