Political Prisoner Les Bory Heads to Court Monday, Denied Disclosure & A Laptop to Prep
REXDALE, January 2, 2025. Political prisoner Les Bory made a rare call from prison today. Monday he heads to Court in Brantford in a landmark free speech trial which sees the state trying to curb online dissent.
“They’ve scheduled a two week jury trial,” Mr. Bory told CAFE. Sixteen videos Les Bory recorded online are at issue. “I still haven’t seen the disclosure from my lawyer. I was never provided with a computer to help prepare my defence,” he adds.
“I was supposed to have a bail review every 90 days, but I have had no such reviews,” he says. Meanwhile the nation’s streets are awash with villains charged with murder or brutal assault out on easy bail. The highly politicized Canadian justice system punishes dissident thought or speech harshly, but shrugs at brutal deeds. Mr. Bory has been in prison since February 14, 2023 — nearly two years.
Mr. Bory, who has no criminal record, is charged with three counts of uttering threats, specifically against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, police and Jews. Far more seriously, he is charged under Sec. 319 of Canada’s notorious “hate law” for wilfully promoting hatred against a legally privileged group, in this case Jews. For this he could get two years in prison. Most seriously he is charged under Sec. 318 of the “hate law” with promoting genocide, against Jews.
This is the first time Sec. 318 has been used. It required the consent, Mr. Bory states, of the federal Attorney-General. For this, Mr. Bory could receive up to five years in prison.
Conditions at Maplehurst Detention Centre are crowded and violent. “I have one of the shittiest jobs, cleaning out segregation cells. Some of these prisoners make a horrible mess,” Mr. Bory explains. “But it gets me out of my cell and moving about.”
Mr. Bory’s trial will be held in Ontario Superior Court at 70 Wellington Street in Brantford and commences at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, January 6,

LES BORY & MOHAMMED MAJIDPOUR
What’s the difference between Leslie Bory and Mohammed Majidpour? Les Bory is a political prisoner. A non-violent man with no criminal record, he has languished in prison. at the Maplehurst Detention Centre in Milton Ontario since February 14, 2023 — nearly two years. His “crime”? He has an online television podcast. On February 11, 2023, he made some strong statements against privileged groups in Canada, primarily Jews. For his non-violent speech, he and his wife were subject to arrest by a fully armed police shock squad. Despite numerous applications this non-violent political of words has repeatedly been denied bail.
And Mohammed Majidpour? “One of the more high-profile examples being Mohammed Majidpour, a man who already had at least 30 convictions when, in September 2022, he randomly attacked a 19-year-old woman in Downtown Vancouver with a pole, and then set fire to a car later that day. When eventually arrested for the attack, Majidpour spent only a weekend in detention before getting bail. He’d then proceed to be arrested several more times before the pole attack even had a chance to go to trial. In one instance, Majidpour was on bail less than three hours before he was arrested again for trying to steal $300 in leggings. As the Vancouver Police said in a statement, two officers who had arrested Majidpour the day before on a separate incident, simply followed him until he broke the law again. “At the time of his arrest, the suspect had been out of custody for two hours, 18 minutes,” read a subsequent police statement.: (National Post, December 6, 2024)
This is Canada’s highly politicized “justice” system. If you do violent and evil things, the system can’t get you back on the streets fast enough. However, if you express non-violent thoughts, our leftist justice system will keep you in jail.
CAFE RALLIES FOR POLITICAL PRISONER LES BORY
MILTON, November 13, 2024. Today supporters of the Canadian Association for Free Expression staged an hour long rally outside the Maplehurst Detention Centre, where political prisoner, Les Bory has been held without bail since February 14, 2024. This is one of a series of rallies CAFE has held since the Spring to call attention to this travesty of justice.
We were coming up on Remembrance Day. On November 11, we remember the sacrifices are soldiers made supposedly to protect freedom. Yet, one of those most basic freedoms — freedom of speech — is severely under attack in Canada today. Equally, part of the repressive state is the denial of bail to non-violent dissidents. Remembrance day was not be a solemn day for Political Prisoner Les Bory. It will be a bitter reminder of how Canada has strayed from its ideals of freedom. He spent this day confined to the Maplehurst Detention Centre, denied bail, held as a political prisoner for the non-violent expression of his political beliefs.
We’ve all met and heard political prisoner Leslie Bory. As of Remembrance Day, he will have spent 634 days in remand. He has been charged with three counts of uttering threats against privileged groups via a podcast, February 11, 2023. Several attempts to get bail for Leslie for a non-violent alleged crime have been denied. Leslie has no criminal record. The papers are filled with stories of violent criminals let back on the streets despite previous convictions for violence. His lawyer indicates that an “expedited” (that used to mean speeded up) trial for Leslie may not occur until January 2025! He will have spent two years and suffered two years’ loss of freedom and income without a conviction.
However, this is political! One of the groups he allegedly threatened or made nasty comments about is Canada’s most privileged group and I don’t mean Icelanders._____________________________

CAFE’S 7TH RALLY FOR POLITICAL PRISONER LES BORY
We’re now into Autumn. It’s political prisoner Les Bory’s second Autumn in prison. The rotten judicial system has repeatedly denied this non-violent man, with no criminal record, bail. Meanwhile, even people accused of murder are out on bail. Violent criminals get bail. People who DO bad things get bail. People who SAY bad things stay in jail, Les Bory is a dissident pure and simple. His Internet TV show featured his dissent. His persecution is entirely political.
As of September 25, Les Bory has spent 582 days in remand. He has been charged with three counts of uttering threats against privileged groups via a podcast, February 11, 2023. Several attempts to get bail for Leslie for a non-violent alleged crime have been denied. Leslie has no criminal record. The papers are filled with stories of violent criminals let back on the streets despite previous convictions for violence. His lawyer indicates that an “expedited” (that used to mean speeded up) trial for Leslie may not occur until January 6, 2025! He will have spent two years and suffered two years loss of freedom and income without a conviction.
However, this is political! One of the groups he allegedly threatened or made nasty comments about is Canada’s most privileged group and I don’t mean Icelanders.
We owe it to this brave freedom fighter to make some noise on his behalf.

CAFE protested outside the Maplehurst Detention Centre for political prisoner Leslie Bory who has been inside for 381 days, without bail, for allegedly posting threats against privileged groups on a podcast. His trial may not occur until next January. He will have been in two years Meanwhile violent criminals, mostly black, get bail. It’s political discrimination.
It’s a tale of two sets of threats. On February 12, in an on-line broadcast, Les Bory, a self-described politician who has run numerous times in his home town of Brantford, did another of his hard hitting outspoken commentaries. Police alleged that he made general threats against several groups, including Canada’s most privileged minority of all — Jews. Two days later, he was arrested leaving work at gunpoint. At the same time, his home was being raided by rifle-toting cops, the street had been cordoned off, and his wife was handcuffed, although not arrested.He has been in jail ever since. Numerous efforts by his lawyer Ian McCuaig to attain bail for Mr. Bory have been obstructed by the Crown. Les Bory is White, he’s a nationalist, and he’s a populist.Now, nearly four months later, Mr. Bory languishes in prison in Maplehurst Detention Centre in Milton.
Junior Francois Lavagesse is Black. On June 1, he allegedly made threats against Toronto mayoralty candidates In fright several candidates’ debates were shut down. Lavagesse was arrested soon after and charged with uttering threats, while apparently holding a firearm. A mere five days later, he was released on bail. Our legal system bends over backwards for Blacks because in their woke delusions Blacks are over-represented in prison and that must be proof of discrimination. Also, whatever Mr, Lavagesse’s politics are, they were not populist and, therefore, in woke Canada worthy of special persecution.

A 29-year-old man who was arrested last week after allegedly threatening Toronto mayoral candidates has been released on bail, police confirm.
It is not immediately clear what conditions, if any, have been ordered by the court.

Police allege that Lavagesse walked into a location near Mortimer and Greenwood avenues in East York on the morning June 1, where he brandished what appeared to be a firearm and made threatening remarks about mayoral candidates.
His arrest came hours after police notified candidates about the threat, prompting a number of them to cancel campaign events over safety concerns. A debate was also scrapped that night after some candidates pulled out.
Police said Lavagesse’s arrest was made “without incident” on the evening of June 1.
However, given the nature of the accusations against Lavagesse, some candidates are expressing concerns about his release.
Candidate Brad Bradford said in a video on Twitter that this situation is “emblematic of a story that happens time and time again across the city.”
“Violent offenders are out on bail in our communities, and there are very few checks and balances to keep folks safe,” Bradford continued.
Former police chief Mark Saunders also questioned the decision to release Lavagesse on bail, saying the matter reflects the bail reform issues he’s discussed during his campaign.
“It’s a problem with our justice system,” he said.
Mitzie Hunter, meanwhile, said she personally feels safe, and that her campaign has reviewed its safety protocols while she continues to canvas across Toronto.
“I have every confidence in the Toronto Police Service and they wouldn’t have released him with there being a risk to public safety, and we have faith and total confidence in the court system,” she said in a statement.
Frontrunner Olivia Chow and former deputy mayor Ana Bailao have not yet commented on the situation.
