On Friday, September 28th, 2012 George Horton was sentenced to 10 months in Jail for his actions during the anti-capitalist demonstrations during the 2010 G20 in Toronto. This will be followed by 2 years probation.
He was convicted of Intimidation of a Peace Office & Assault on a Police Officer related to the attack on a Toronto Police cruiser with Staff Sergeant Queens inside, as well as a number of attempted mischief’s on a number of police cruisers & a Tim Hortons. He was also convicted of Mischief over $5000 for attacking a CBC News Van. The Judge said these actions, “contributed to ongoing attacks on police, business and Media,” with George making a “notable contribution to the path of distraction [at the G20]”.
As the Judge read out officer Queens victim impact statement, where he describes being swarmed, attacked, and hit in the head by a black flag, Queens and G20 Lead Investigator Girioux freaked out. After someone in the room told them to go “fuck themselves”, they grabbed the comrade sitting behind them, shoved him over his seat and threw him against the wall, and then tried to flex their muscles by ejecting 2 other members of the crowd. This led to an uproar in court in which the judge & police were in turn chewed out by a number of people who were then kicked out.
In a truly ironic moment, the judge struggled to read out her prepared statement praising canadian democracy, freedom and rights as she was drowned out by the G20 cops discussing charging members of the gallery and sirens rang outside the window.
We will have Georges address posted as soon as possible on our website and you can check out regular updates from Peterborough ABC, which will also feature updates from George in prison.

From the Lower mainland, she’s been forced to go to Toronto by the courts. She is facing a slew of charges related to the G8/G20 meetings there, although she was arrested a few months later here in the lower mainland.
Though they seem to have little direct evidence to the indictable offences she is facing –and a lot of conjecture based on stupid stuff like “body shape”– the state has been particularly vicious to her. They’ve used their massive surveillance operation over campuses and movement bookstores out here to ID, target and take out community activists, initially grabbing her here and flying her in custody to Toronto, only releasing her with $30,000 bond and a long list of restrictive bail conditions. Now continues their strategy for criminalizing dissent– instead of referring to her as a “protester”, they are now trying to label her as a “domestic terrorist” –and all of that related intimidation (towards her and her family)– which, taken together with the mainstream media frenzy on these cases, plus the non-association conditions prohibiting her from contact with other Toronto defendants and groups like NOII!) — well the whole shitstorm has come down pretty heavy on a relatively young organizer, and sadly, has further marginalized her.

On July 19, Kelly Rose Pflug-Back was sentenced to eleven more months in prison for her participation in the 2010 G20 protests in Toronto. She remains unapologeticabout her role in the black bloc that caused so much disruption during the summit, demonstrating that the forces that impose capitalism and patriarchy are not invulnerable.
To support Kelly and the millions like her who are imprisoned for the inconveniences they pose to the powerful, we are proud to present her eloquent and thought-provoking memoir of the time she spent incarcerated after her original arrest: “Every Prisoner is a Political Prisoner.” In this account, Kelly powerfully evokes the experience of captivity and the importance of understanding all captives of the state as political prisoners.
