Fairy Creek Protester Angela Davidson Sentenced to Jail for Civil Disobedience

Prominent protester Angela Davidson, also known as Rainbow Eyes, was sentenced to 60 days in jail on Wednesday for her role in the Fairy Creek old-growth logging protests. Davidson, who is a member of the Da’naxda’xw First Nation and a deputy leader of the federal Green Party, was found guilty of seven counts of criminal contempt for breaching an injunction granted to logging company Teal Cedar, but received credit for 12 days already served. Despite arguments for a lenient sentence, her repeated violations and the need for deterrence led to a sentence longer than the Crown’s recommendation. Davidson maintains that her actions were driven by natural law and the protection of the environment.
