http://rabble.ca/news/2015/02/political-activist-ken-stone-takes-csis-to-task-alleged-harassmentDate Written: 2015-02-25 Publisher: rabble.ca Year Published: 2015 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX20371 What is it like to be targeted by Canada's spy agency? Veteran anti-war and environmental activist Ken Stone knows firsthand and is willing to talk about it. Abstract: - Excerpt: The retired school teacher is presently taking the legal route: making a formal complaint against the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). This action follows the sudden appearance of two agents at his Hamilton home two years ago. "The visit was not warranted under the mandate of CSIS. It caused anxiety for me and my family. It was an attempt to intimidate me, and my family members in lawfully exercising our charter rights, of freedom of speech and association, and my right to criticize the government of Canada, and its policies," said Stone. ... Roy has encountered other politically active people who have had similar CSIS visits, both at home and at work. However, hardly anyone chooses to challenge these unannounced CSIS visits, as has Ken Stone. Subject Headings |
