Outside the courtroom: The Jaggi Singh trial

In this short video, activists rally in solidarity for Jaggi Singh. His trial took place at Toronto's Old City Hall on Thursday, April 28.

The Jaggi Singh trial is about the criminalization of dissent and a fundamental attack on free speech, says Jaroslava Avila of the Women's Coordinating Committee for a Free Wallmapuand. Jaggi Singh is being tried for statements he made to the media about taking down the G20 "security fence." Singh says: "There is nothing that I can admit to in the conspiracy charges, because there really was no conspiracy. If it was a conspiracy, it was a conspiracy of thousands of people to resist the G20, which of course is not a conspiracy, it's organizing.
