Activist, journalist and blogger Dan Kellar was arrested last week after he named and published a picture of a man he believed to be an undercover police officer infiltrating activist groups. Kellar told his readers in a blog post on peaceculture.org to “spit in [the] footsteps and scoff at his existence” (yikes!). The Toronto Media Co-op is reporting that Kellar’s charges include criminal defamation and counselling his readers to commit assault, among others. Kellar is also a member of an anti-war group that saw several of its members arrested before the G20 summit. The blog post has since been deleted—but Google Cache seems to have snagged it. Remember Officer Bubbles, anyone? Read the entire story [Toronto Media Co-op] »
