| Policing and dispersal | The case sources reviewed here do not establish a spending total for protest policing, overtime or dispersal. Nine protesters sought ISK 800,000 each after police used pepper spray at a 2024 Gaza protest in Reykjavík. The state prevailed at district court in March 2025 and on appeal in June 2026. The total sought was ISK 7.2 million. The courts awarded none of the requested damages. The outcome does not disclose the cost of the police deployment.
