Unlike other Canadians, he's not allowed to speak to the press (G-20)

Canadian Court Bans G-20 Defendant from Speaking

JESSE FREESTON, PRODUCER, TRNN: On Friday, The Toronto Star's Dan Robson wrote, "Alex Hundert's words will not appear in this story. Unlike other Canadians, he's not allowed to speak to the press." That's because on Tuesday, social justice activist and G-20 defendant Alex Hundert of Toronto was judged to have breached his bail conditions by participating in a university panel discussion. His newest bail conditions were then amended to include a ban on all public political expression. Hundert is one of 20 organizers facing serious conspiracy charges stemming from June's G-20 protests, and his case has served as a litmus test for civil liberties in Canada.


FREESTON: Hundert's battle with the law began in June when he was arrested at gunpoint, along with his partner Leah Henderson, in a 4 a.m. pre-summit raid on their Toronto home. After spending a month in prison, Hundert and Henderson were released on $100,000 bail apiece, with 20 stringent conditions, which included conditional house arrest and a promise not to participate in public demonstrations. After Hundert gave a handful of interviews to the press, the police tried to have him thrown back in jail for breach of the no public demonstration condition, but the courts ruled that talking to the media isn't a public demonstration. Soon after, Hundert appeared as an invited guest on a panel at Ryerson University.

This is chilling. More signs of creeping fascism.

1. Remember Sibel Edmonds?

The Feds argued national security for her. This is a result of a public protest, not a translation-national security "breach" and yet Hundert is in jail. It's chilling - even though it's Canada and not the US. Fascism is on the rise.
