Depuis la fin de l'automne 2010 il ne reste qu'une dizaine de montréalais faisant face a des accusations. Il en reste aujourd'hui 8 dont 6 sont en contact avec l'équipe de soutien légal de la Clac active depuis plus d'un an.
Bilan, le travail collectif de soutien a permis à plusieurs personnes de faire tomber les charges qui pesaient contre elle. Devant des demandes de divulgation de la preuve la Couronne a plus souvent qu'autrement renoncé à ses accusations.
Montréal, 12th of july 2011- On June 29th 2011, the Anti-Gang Squad of the Montreal Police Organized Crime Division arrested four activists, simultaneously searching their respective homes. The arrests are connected to the last May 1st protest, organized by the Convergence of anti-capitalist struggles of Montreal (CLAC).
Montreal, June 21, 2011 -- Today, Montrealer Jaggi Singh, a member of the Anti-Capitalist Convergence (CLAC), was sentenced for "counselling" people to tear down the G20 security fence in Toronto. Last April 28th, he pleaded guilty to encouraging people to tear down the illegitimate fence that shielded the heads of state of the G20 from popular rage on June 26th and 27th, 2010 in Toronto. The Crown has asked the judge to impose an exemplary sentence of six months' imprisonment, while admitting that no sentence, even the harshest, could make Jaggi change his political views.
