Angela Davidson, also known as Rainbow Eyes, was convicted of seven counts of criminal contempt for her part in the logging blockades
The Crown is calling for 51 days of jail time for a deputy leader of the federal Green Party following her conviction on seven counts of criminal contempt for her part in the Fairy Creek logging blockades.
He said the request for a suspension of jail time is based on her promise not to go to the Fairy Creek area for a period of six months, along with the fact she has not been there for the past 27 months. Both sentencing positions were put forward Thursday during a hearing in B.C. Supreme Court in Nanaimo.
The court heard during Davidson’s trial that her May 2021 protest action included putting a bike lock around her neck and chaining it to a gate. She also had her arm chained in one end of a pipe while a man was chained at the other end.
