Justin Brake — the journalist who was charged with civil and criminal offences after he reported an Innu and Inuit protest at the construction site of a hydroelectric dam in Labrador in October 2016 — has filed a Charter challenge in court.
Mr. Brake is seeking a stay of proceedings. Although Justice Derek Green of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador dismissed the civil charges in March 2019, Mr. Brake still faces criminal charges.
