Alex Hundert, a pre-eminent member of the so-called “G20 ringleaders,” was sentenced to 13 ½ months in prison Tuesday.
Hundert is the last to be sentenced out of a group of six who struck a deal with the Crown last November. The half-dozen pleaded guilty to counselling to commit mischief. In exchange for their pleas, 11 co-accused had their charges dropped.
Hundert pleaded guilty to a further charge of counselling to obstruct police.
Addressing the court during an impassioned speech on the two year anniversary of the G20 summit, the 31-year-old activist accepted he did break the law but offered no apologies. He said that although he made the decision, he felt he was “bullied” into making his guilty plea because one member of the initial group of co-accused was facing deportation, and others were much younger.
Hundert said it was “ridiculous” to think his prosecution wasn’t politically motivated.
[...]
Hundert, as well as other accused, met to plan protests against the G20 and encouraged property damage during the summit, according to an agreed statement of facts.
