Sarah Ann Pruyn hasn't added a story.
In June 2010 the largest mass arrests in Canadian history unfolded at the G20 in Toronto. Protesters, citizens of Toronto and people just visiting the city we're brutalized, intimidated, kidnapped and wrongfully arrested. To date there has been no inquiry into the atrocities that took place. John Pruyn and his daughter, Sarah Pruyn, are biking across Canada to ask the RCMP and members of parliament for a fully public federal inquiry into the G20. Specifically they will ask them to sign the G20 Justice Petition, available at g20justiceride.com/petition/.
John's story of his time at the G20 is particularly harrowing as security forces ripped off his artificial leg, beat him and dragged him around until he bled. This took place at Ontario's Queen's Park, an area federal government security forces sanctioned as a designated protests zone. Citizens were lead to believe that assemblies and rallies that took place there during the G20 summit would be respected by police. Instead John, who was never arrested or charged, was attacked and held at the detention center for about twenty eight hours. His money, walking sticks and prescription glasses were taken from him. His daughter Sarah was arrested and detained for twenty seven hours. Her charges were later dropped. The vast majority of those arrested also had their charges dropped. We are seeking justice for the thousands of Canadians who were wronged and answers for how and why authority figures were allowed to abuse their powers to such an alarming extent. Any funds donated beyond what we are asking for to complete the ride will be donated to the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and disability rights organizations.
