Alex Hundert, an alleged organizer of G20 violence in Toronto, was arrested Friday night for breach of bail conditions after participating as a forum panelist at Ryerson University.

“These charges are manifestly unfounded, based on a completely unreasonable interpretation of the bail order,” said Hundert’s defence attorney John Norris. “We will be fighting this with vigour.”

The Crown said it would seek to revoke Hundert’s bail, said Norris.

The bail has been a matter of contention. On Sept. 13, Ontario Superior Court Justice Todd Ducharme ruled against a Crown appeal to review the bail terms.

Hundert, 30, charged on three counts of conspiracy pertaining to G20 activities, was released in July on $100,000 bail with about 20 terms, including not participating in any public demonstration, explained Norris. “We are struggling with how broadly the Crown is interpreting that.”

The forum at Ryerson, called “Strengthening our Resolve,” discussed the impact of the G20 on the progressive movement, explained longtime activist Judy Rebick, who teaches political science at Ryerson. Other panellists included representatives from labour, the gay and lesbian communities and indigenous groups.

Rebick invited Hundert to take part. He was arrested at his father’s home where he had returned after the event.

“It was a meeting, a calm, peaceful discussion of issues on people’s minds,” Rebick told the 70 demonstrators who gathered Saturday morning in front of Old City Hall, where Hundert was due to appear in court.

“It’s an outrage that he was arrested for discussing issues, an outrage,” she told the crowd to loud applause.

A police spokesman declined to comment as the case is before the court.

Hundert remains at the Toronto West Detention Centre. His case has been remanded to Tuesday to set a hearing date.

In total, 1,105 people were arrested June 25-27 as G20 protesters and police clashed in downtown Toronto.

Of those, only 278 were charged. The rest were released unconditionally or never booked.
