A Montreal man who pleaded guilty to urging people to tear down a security fence during last summer's G20 summit was sentenced to time served on Tuesday.
Jaggi Singh pleaded guilty to counselling to commit mischief over $5,000. A conspiracy charge had previously been withdrawn by the Crown.
Singh was given credit for a week spent in pretrial custody and house arrest while on bail.
Singh is a community activist involved with the Anti-Capitalist Convergence as well as the group No One Is Illegal-Montreal.
The well-known anarchist held a press conference outside the G20 security fence on June 24, 2010, encouraging people to tear it down.
While hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage was caused in downtown Toronto during the G20 summit, the fence was not damaged.
Speaking before his sentencing on Tuesday, Singh said he did not regret his actions. He did not apologize when entering his plea.
The Crown was calling for a six-month sentence, while Singh's lawyers were requesting leniency.
Singh's criminal record includes a number of incidents linked to several political demonstrations over the past decade. None of his convictions involved violence or actual property damage.
More than 1,000 people were arrested during the G20 summit in Toronto, however only a handful of those currently face charges.
