Angela Davidson, also known as Rainbow Eyes, was convicted in January of seven counts of criminal contempt
An old-growth logging protester and deputy leader of the federal Green Party has been sentenced to 60 days in jail for her role in the Fairy Creek protests.
Davidson, 38, was sentenced in Nanaimo Wednesday to 60 days in jail, minus 12 days for time served pre-trial, and 75 hours of community service. Davidson addressed the court during her April 5 sentencing hearing, saying she did not intend to show disrespect to the court with her actions, but that she was forced to return to the area “by a higher calling” taught to her by elders, her grandparents and “spiritual leaders of our nations.”
