Human Rights Canadian sci-fi author beaten, imprisoned at US border crossing
Canadian science-fiction author and Toronto native Dr. Peter Watts was reportedly beaten,pepper-sprayed and imprisoned at a US-Canada border crossing in Michigan.
Watts now faces a felony charge for “assaulting a federal officer,” with Watts and his passenger in the car saying that he's completely innocent. The real tragedy here is that Watts could be left in financial ruin from the cost of legal fees, yet he is determined to fight the charges.
