David Johnson has now been released from jail after being arrested for breaching his probation by erecting a temporary shelter on city property. He was set free Oct 14th after a 23 day hunger strike in jail to protest the courts mal-treatment of him by making him a political prisoner, and for the abuses of the homeless caused by the enforcement of anti poverty laws such as the "safe streets act". Mr. Johnson is still awaiting the supreme courts decision on the City of Victorias' challenge to the earlier court ruling that found anti camping bylaws a violation of charter rights.
