Charles Leblanc
CANADA
New Brunswick blogger Charles LeBlanc was arrested in June 2006 while taking photos of demonstrators outside a conference in Saint John, the only known instance of an imprisoned blogger in Canada. LeBlanc spent four hours in jail and was later acquitted of all charges. One of the arresting officers had testified that LeBlanc was targeted for arrest because he looked “scruffy” and his digital camera appeared unprofessional.
