G20 Protester arrested, causes outrage.

Hey ATS, this is local for me and this guy was wrongfully arrested, and the tactics used go against our freedoms.

KITCHENER — Wilfrid Laurier University professors and students are angry and alarmed that undercover police officers secretly recorded a panel discussion on campus and used the information to send a man to jail. A letter of protest — signed by 42 faculty, staff and students at the faculty of social work — was sent Thursday to John Milloy, the province’s minister of training, colleges and universities, and also Kitchener Centre MPP. The panel discussion, hosted by the social work faculty in September, was on how to build ongoing resistance to the “G20 agenda” and featured activists and members of immigrant and aboriginal groups. One of the participants, 30-year-old Alex Hundert, is a G20 protester who is charged with several counts of conspiracy. He was under house arrest in Toronto and was connected to the discussion remotely by computer. He is a 30-year-old Laurier alumnus who is involved with several social justice groups. The courts had ordered him to stay away from public demonstrations as a condition of bail. But Hundert consulted his lawyer and believed that he was on safe ground speaking at a discussion, a member of his family said. He spoke at Laurier and also at a similar discussion at Ryerson University two days later. Then the police arrested him and he was jailed for several weeks. He has also been forbidden to speak to the media.

It generated up a lot of controversy on our current law system. It's good to see so many people from all around the community standing up for this man.

Amazing. Willing to bet this sort of thing will be going on in the states soon. But we're supposedly free.

he has been FORBIDDEN to speak to the media? why is that? because it would draw attention to the wrongfull imprisonment of a man who speaks his mind? what happened to freedom of speech?...now if you speak out or protest ur classed as a terrorist, if u dont go with the system, and go against the grain and outwith what the governments and the elites WANT us to do then your a terrorist.

its not other countries we need to fear with terrorism....its already on our doorsteps in the form of our supposed governments and the puppet masters pulling all the strings.

Here in the US conspiracy to commit a crime is a crime.
Now it is just a crime to do anything.

Really? How so ? I'm not seeing people mobilize and prepare for take down the man or establishment. It's life as usual other than university blogs shaking their angry, apple tattoed fists and loading their ipoods with more protest music. I'm sure there are lots of angry people, and to some degree rightfully so in this case. I don't agree with this guys media ban though but life will continue unabated.
