Alex Hundert (source: Raw Story) |
A man accused of having incited violent protests at the G20 economic summit in Toronto last June has been subjected to what his lawyer describes as “staggering” bail conditions. Not only is he forbidden to attend any public event that expresses political views but he is not even allowed to speak to the press.
At the time of his arrest on three counts of conspiracy, Alex Hundert was described by the Globe and Mail as an anarchist who had encouraged the Black Bloc vandalism which accompanied the demonstrations. “There’s been nothing covert about Mr. Hundert’s views, on which he expounded at length in a March 1 posting to rabble.ca, a non-profit news forum where activists often gather,” the paper noted. It quoted Hundert as saying, “The Black Block [sic] is a wrecking ball tactic that makes space for more mainstream or creative tactics.”
