17 oct 1970 año - Laporte Found Dead

Descripción:

OCTOBER 17, 1970

Laporte Found Dead

Within 48 hours of Trudeau’s invocation of the War Measures Act, more than 250 people are arrested; they include labour leaders, entertainers and intellecturals. In a comminqué sent by the Liberation cell, but not made public until 8 December, the cell announces it is suspending indefinitely the execution of Cross. This is an apparent attempt to encourage the Chénier cell to do the same with Laporte. But at 10:50 p.m., Laporte’s body is found in the trunk of an abandoned car near the Saint-Hubert airport. An autopsy later revelas that he had been strangled.
