Anarchopanda presence launches "Pandaction" movement

Giant pandas can be found in bamboo forests mainly in China, but one can also be found protesting in the Montreal streets. 

The Montreal student protest mascot Anarchopanda has launched a campaign called Pandaction.

It is making its mark on a controversial bylaw that bans masks and also requires an advanced schedule.

It has raised over eleven thousand dollars so far through the popular website Indiegogo.

According to the campaign website, the money will be used to fight bylaw P-6 and a section of the Quebec Highway Safety Code.

A statement on the campaign website says Anarchopanda intends to defend those who have undergone ... or will undergo that kind of legal and financial repression.

It also aims to keep all donors anonymous. 

Some protestors believe the code has been misused just to end the demonstrations.

Last week, police took away Anarchopanda’s head for several days under the bylaw.

They said it was considered evidence and could be used in court.
