Two protesters get conditional discharge after Alberta turkey farm demonstration

Jul 7, 2020 | 11:11 AM

LETHBRIDGE, Alta. – Two of three people charged following a protest at a southern Alberta turkey farm have received conditional discharges in court.

They were each facing one count of break and enter to commit mischief after the protest last September.

Court records show Maxwell Ming Mah of Edmonton and Claire Buchanan of Calgary were sentenced in Lethbridge provincial court on Friday.

A conditional discharge typically comes after a guilty plea or conviction at trial and requires a person to meet certain conditions, which are written as probation orders.

Mah and Buchanan must not have any contact with the turkey farm, not post anything publicly about the farm, not come within 50 metres of any location where animals are kept and must complete 50 hours of community service.
