Gary McHale is prohibited from entering Caledonia, Hagersville and York under conditions set by the Ontario Provincial Police after he was arrested on Dec. 7.
The 45-year-old Richmond Hill man, who operates the Caledonia Wake Up Call website, was charged with counselling mischief at a Dec. 1 protest against a smoke shop on Argyle Street South in Caledonia.
During a confrontation at that event, he suffered a bruised rib, cuts to his face, a black eye and bruises on his head.
Under other conditions, McHale is prohibited from contacting protest participant Mark Vandermaas, Dec. 1 videographer Jeff Parkinson (who received a head injury at the protest) and smoke shop protest organizer Doug Fleming. Violation of any conditions will result in jail time for McHale who is ordered to attend a bail hearing on Jan. 23.
This week he will attend court to have his conditions modified.
Also ordered for a Jan. 23 bail hearing, Fleming was charged with mischief for interfering with lawful use and enjoyment of Argyle Street South. He is prohibited from contacting McHale.
OPP also charged Clyde Powless age 40 of Ohsweken with assault and mischief and Jessie Porter, age 42 of Ohsweken with mischief. Kyle Hagan of Caledonia was arrested on Dec. 1, charged with obstruct police and released.
McHale, who wants six more Six Nations persons charged, told OPP he would charge Powless in court if OPP did not lay charges on him within a week of Dec. 1.
Last week, the Six Nations Confederacy Council expressed sadness over violence on Dec. 1. Mohawk Chief Allen MacNaughton said agitators, some from Caledonia, continue to belittle Six Nations basic human and land rights. Two Six Nations women were also injured in attacks on them, he added urging OPP to deal with the perpetrators of these assaults. "This violence against our women we will not tolerate," he stated.
MacNaughton said media ignored the attacks on the women as they did the injuries sustained by Six Nations youth during a Sept. 13 altercation at Stirling Woods.
Continued development results in Six Nations people countering with direct action in peaceful protests, he added. While similar land rights negotiations were underway in other provinces, development was stopped.
