Nadeau-Dubois on trial for contempt of court

Posted By: Angelica Montgomery · 9/27/2012 1:44:00 PM

Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois's lawyer is arguing that there's no proof his client knew about the injunction at the center of this court case.

Nadeau-Dubois is accused of contempt of court for saying on TV during the student crisis that it's legitimate to break court injunctions.

Nadeau-Dubois's lawyer says that doesn't mean he knew about the court order against Laval University arts students that's being discussed today.

The judge, however, says because the arts students belong to the CLASSE and Nadeau-Dubois was their spokesman, the case will proceed.

Nadeau-Dubois is not wearing his red square today, though a handful of his supporters in the court are.

We do not yet know whether he'll testify in his own defence this afternoon.

    To claim ignorance of the court's injunction seems ludicrous to me. As the leder of CLASSE M. Nadeau-Dubois had to be aware of what was happening in the courts at the time of the protest. How can a leader say that he did not know about actions that directly affected his cause.

    The blocking of student's who had a legitimate right to go to class was a direct violation of the rule of law and the advocation of the disregarding a court order is an act of contempt for the legal system.

    As leader of CLASSE M. Nadeau-Dubois can not now turn around and say sorry I'm just an ignorant bystander.
