Political Prisoner in Canada

The case of Mr. Brad Love.

Quote:

"Mr. Love has been denied bail and held in prison since March 3 for writing letters to MPPs on immigration,” CAFÉ Director Paul Fromm told the protesters. These letters were non-threatening and merely expressed his unhappiness with poorly screened immigration that has led to such criminal behaviour as marijuana grow-ops."

Quote:

Mr. Love was convicted, in July, 2003 of "promoting hate", in connection with dozens of letters he'd written over the years to federal MPs. One of his probation conditions, on his release in March 2004, was not to write "hateful or scurrilous" letters. Mr. Love has been gainfully employed and faithfully kept his appointments with his probation officer. He was arrested leaving the probation office on March 3 and charged for having written 30 more letters to MPPs.

Quote:

"His lawyer, Peter Lindsay, knows of persons charged with murder released on $100,000 bail. The Crown initially agreed to a $200,000 surety -- an extraordinary sum for charges that do not involve violence -- and then reneged on the deal.

Quote:

"Police from York Region, Peel, Metro and the OPP have acted like political police in Mr. Love's case, " said Fromm. "Officers from all four police forces sat through two and a half days of bail hearings in early March. Yet, police often fail to show up for the bail hearings of violent offenders, who then are released with low bail and few conditions," he charges. "We believe that Mr. Love's outspoken opposition to the government's immigration policies have made him a target of the increasingly politicized policing in this province."

So this guy is now felon for writing nonthreatening and polite letters on immigration to his members of parliament and local newspapers. Amnesty International is not in sight. Enjoy an example of the future.

My source is here

Brad Love Back In Jail For Writing Letters to Local Newspaper

There were no articles about this man as far as I'm aware in newspapers. No Amnesty International, no ACLU and this all has happened in Canada which is ranked as a top 3 country as far as the quality of human rights is concerned. I'm about twentieth person who read that article about him.

Comments are welcomed :cry:.
