The G7 summits are used by these seven presidents and prime ministers for shaping our world, and are therefore followed everywhere by the resistance against them. We won't leave them in peace!

Montréal, le 4 octobre 2013 – Aujourd'hui au Palais de justice de Montréal, Guillaume Constantineau et Youri Couture, deux militants anticapitalistes de Saint-Jérôme (à proximité de Montréal) ont plaidé coupable à trois chefs d'accusation découlant de leur participation aux mobilisations historiques contre le sommet du G20 de Toronto, les 25, 26 et 27 juin 2010. Tous deux devront purger une peine de six mois d'emprisonnement dans une prison provinciale de la région de Montréal (Bordeaux), à compter d'aujourd'hui.
En vertu d'une entente survenue à l'issue d'un processus de négociation de plaidoyer entre les défendeurs et les procureurs de la Couronne de Toronto, le dossier des deux accusés a été transféré au Québec et la peine prononcée aujourd'hui à Montréal par le juge Marc David sera purgée au Québec. Il est par ailleurs convenu qu'aucune période de probation ne sera imposée suite à la peine d'emprisonnement.
De plus, en échange du plaidoyer de culpabilité pour les trois chefs retenus (voie de fait armée contre un « agent de la paix », possession d'arme et méfait de plus de 5 000$), la Couronne a accepté de retirer tous les autres chefs déposés contre Youri et Guillaume (quatre chefs chacun).
La fermeture des dossiers de Guillaume et Youri marque la conclusion des poursuites contre des accusé-e-s québécois-e-s dans la foulée du sommet du G20.

CLAC Media Briefing
Wednesday, November 23rd at 10am
QPIRG Concordia, 1500 de Maisonneuve W., #204, Montreal
CLAC (Convergence of anti-capitalist struggles) invites members of the press to a briefing by Patrick Cadorette, the last CLAC organizer facing conspiracy charges related to the G20 protests in Toronto, and a member of the legal support committee.
Toronto G20: The last CLAC organizer still accused of conspiracy sees his charges withdrawn!
CLAC condemns the legal circus and the criminalization of dissent
Montréal, November 23rd 2011 – Yesterday, in a packed courtroom at the Ontario Court of
Justice in Toronto, the Crown counsel in charge of prosecuting the so-called “Main G20
Conspiracy Group” dropped all conspiracy charges against 17 organizers from Southern
Ontario and Québec.
One of the 17, Patrick Cadorette, an organizer from the Anti-capitalist Convergence of
Montréal (CLAC), had all his charges withdrawn by the Crown after almost 18 months spent
under restrictive conditions, including 11 months under house arrest.
This new development is a result of a plea agreement between Crown and Defense counsel.
Of the 17 charged with conspiracy, six pled guilty to “counseling” mischief, while the 11 others
have had all their charges dropped.
“The public has heard a lot about police brutality and mass arrests at the G20 summit,”
Cadorette says, “but the repression went a lot deeper than pictures of angry policemen beating
on demonstrators. We now know that there was a complex strategy aimed at criminalizing
political dissent and anti-capitalist organizing. This strategy included infiltration by undercover
cops, the surveillance of various movements, the intimidation and harassment of activists, and
hundreds of illegal searches and arbitrary detentions during the summit itself. The legal and
penal system also played a major role in this strategy to criminalize dissent. Through imposing
draconian bail conditions like strict non-association with targeted community organizations, long
term house arrest, and banning organizing or attending public demonstrations, legal authorities
clearly meant to weaken movements working for social and environmental justice and to
discourage people who identify with these movements from getting involved. Add to all this the
serious criminal charges targeting organizers, public defamation, and bail hearings held in the
climate of mass hysteria following the protests, as well as the staggering amounts requested
for cash bail, and you have all the elements of a perfect plan to demonize and criminalize
political activism.”
