PRO-LIFE HERO LINDA GIBBONS RELEASED TODAY

TORONTO, Dec 14 (LSN.ca) – Canadian pro-life hero Linda Gibbons, who has spent almost 5 years in prison for quietly praying and offering pro-life counselling outside a Toronto abortuaries, was released from prison today. The release followed immediately after her case was heard in court this morning.

Ontario Court Justice E.G. Hachborn convicted Linda on three charges (non-related to the injunction itself since such a charge would allow a court challenge to the injunction) but sentenced her to only one day in prison for each one, time which has already been served.

Linda has been in jail since her last arrest on October 15, which involved the concurrent arrest of three pro-life journalists covering her arrest. It remains to be seen whether or not the charges against the media personnel will now be dropped.
