A Canadian court upheld a 120-day prison sentence for a 2022 border blockade leader, citing his role in disrupting protests against pandemic rules.
The Alberta Court of Appeal has upheld a 120-day jail sentence for Marco Van Huigenbos, a leader in the 2022 Coutts border blockade, rejecting his appeal on all grounds.
The court ruled the sentence was appropriate given his leadership role in a two-week protest against pandemic restrictions, which caused significant disruption.
It clarified that property damage value affects sentencing, not guilt, and that unequal treatment among protesters does not violate fairness, as prosecutorial discretion is not reviewable.
Van Huigenbos must report to prison within a week.
