This is Canada::: Activist Alex Hundert jailed for speaking at a university
That's right.
Social justice organizer Alex Hundert was arrested at his home in the middle of the night by a SWAT team to prevent his participation at G20-Toronto.
Outrageous bail conditions were then imposed, including removal of his constitutional right to demonstrate.
He was invited by a professor at Ryerson University (Toronto) to participate in a panel discussion about social activism. He accepted and was arrested for breach of his conditions.
He's still in jail.
The judge ruled that the university presentation was a demonstration.
We shit you not.
This is Canada.
The level of corporate fascism is so advanced that this passes for normal around here with most folks.
Do you think the Ryerson invitation is to trap him?

You should set up thisiscanada.net. Have everybody discuss this.
