What is Barberio detained for?

I don't know. As a nonjournalist, I'm able to find out only by virtually observing his court appearances (which I believe have all been via video from a detention centre) and by waiting to hear the charges incidentally mentioned -- in any context whatsover -- by either the counsellors (Crown and defense), court clerks, et al. The problem is, the charges are rarely mentioned on these Zoom proceedings because a lot of time is spent discussing coordination of discovery, hearings, trials, etc., and because the judge is keeping an eye on the Jordan deadlines.

One journalist does know what Barberio is charged with and is waiting for there to be something substantial to write about. On December 12, if I find out what the charges are, I'll make sure to post here. I'll also post any link to the article published by the reporter.

I forgot to mention that for Barberio's next court appearance, the 2-day proceedings will be conducted in French. My fluency in the French language leaves a lot to be desired -- my reading comprehension is okay -- but trying to decipher spoken Québecois French is something else altogether.

lol, no one can except the Quebecers themselves . That said, I remember seeing excerpts from the Charbonneau commission where the speakers spoke "normally", this may also be the case in the courts. At worst, if it is decipherable for my ears, I can help translate
