This week, Community Peacemaker Teams celebrates the fact that charges have been dropped against our Canada Coordinator, Rachelle Friesen. Now, after a year under threat of criminal proceedings, the Crown has dropped all charges against her. Of 135 such arrests, the Crown has dropped charges against 64 people, while 10 were found or pled guilty but received discharges. The Giller Prize, meanwhile, dropped Scotiabank as a sponsor after writers and publishers launched a boycott campaign and announced their support for the protesters. Authors have pledged to continue their boycott until the Giller Prize cuts ties with them as well.
