(LifeSiteNews) Australian authorities have sentenced an anti-lockdown activist to eight months in prison for organizing protests and for traveling in violation of government restrictions.

“Anthony Khallouf, 29, one of the organisers of last month’s anti-lockdown protests and a key figurehead in the broader movement surrounding it, was arrested by police in Sydney on Thursday after travelling from Queensland in breach of public health orders,” the Guardian reported.

Law enforcement prosecuted him for “breaches of public health orders” which include “travelling from Queensland to Sydney” and involvement “planning an unauthorised protest for this weekend.” The court system bars public access to media representatives so it is not possible to see a copy of the criminal charges.

“He pleaded guilty to four counts of not complying with a direction relating to Covid-19, encouraging the commission of crimes, and false representation resulting in a police investigation,” the British publication reported. He faces up to eight months in prison, but can earn parole after three months.
