In news from Canada, there have been developments in the case of Alex Hundert, the G20 protest organizer at the center of a free speech controversy. Hundert was arrested during the G20 summit in June and then held for three weeks. After his release, he was placed under strict bail conditions that astonished many legal experts in Canada. He was not allowed to speak to the media, he could not participate in any public demonstration or political event, and he wasn’t allowed to see his girlfriend without supervision. On September 17, he was arrested again for speaking on a panel discussion at a university and held for almost a month in jail. Hundert was released on October 13. On Saturday, he was arrested again, but police have not revealed any details about why. In one of his last interviews before his September arrest, Hundert spoke to Submedia TV.
Alex Hundert: "They’re trying to scare us. It’s standard harassment and intimidation. And again, that’s something that the police do all the time. The police are always intimidating and harassing people and their communities when people are, you know, saying things that the police don’t want them to say."
