"I was I was arrested on January 10 while reporting on a police raid on an Indigenous encampment in Edmonton. During the arrest of the camp’s leader I was targeted and told I had to leave the area. When I tried to assert my rights as a journalist, rights which have been upheld by high courts in two provinces, I was arrested and charged with obstruction.
My editors and lawyers feel this charge is an attempt to send me a message. Now, I need your help to send one back.
I hope you’ll stand with me."
