For those of you who have not been following Adam Nobody's case, Adam Nobody was the G20 summit demonstrator who was beaten by the Toronto Police (this act caught on tape). He alleged he was beaten twice during the G20 summit demonstration on June 26, 2010; once during his arrest by Constable Andalib-Goortani and allegedly again as he was held in custody by two plain clothes officers.

Toronto's Special Investigative Unit (SIU) eventually investigated the actions of Constable Andalib-Goortani, Detective Constable Todd Storey and Detective Constable Luke Watson.

I've been tracking the case of Dorian Barton since the G20 for rabble.ca and have new updates for my readers.

Here's the story so far...

Dorian Barton -- represented by the law firm Ruby & Shiller -- is suing the Toronto Police Force for allegedly beating him on June 26, 2010, as he was arrested while demonstrating against the G20 summit at Queen's Park. Queen's Park had been established as the official G20 free speech/protest zone prior to the summit.

Hey femmes,

Are you sick of this shit?

Sick of police officers telling you that you get what you deserve if you dress like a slut and get sexually assaulted?

Sick of a Manitoba judge's decision to sentence a rapist to house arrest instead of prison, partly because of the way his female victim was dressed?

On Nov. 10 and 11, 2010, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the National Union of Public and General Employees will be co-hosting two days of public hearings to examine police activity during the recent G20 Summit in Toronto. They have invited members of the public affected by G20 Summit security to attend this event to speak about how their contact with the police during the G20 Summit impacted them personally.

The hearings are intended to provide an opportunity for individuals who witnessed or were affected by objectionable police conduct during the Summit to share their stories. The primary objectives of the hearings are:

* To educate Canadians on the importance of the relationship between democracy, freedom of expression and freedom of assembly;

I gave this speech at the "Reclaim Your Rights" rally on Saturday, July 17th.

A few minor changes have been made since then.

Hey everyone, my name is Natalie Gray. I'd like to start by acknowledging that we are gathered here today on unceded occupied Coast Salish Territory.
