A Saskatchewan man is appealing his conviction related to keeping his daughter away from her mother to prevent the child from receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
Michael Gordon Jackson received a one-year jail sentence after being convicted of violating a court order by not returning his seven-year-old daughter following a visitation in November of 2021. Jackson kept the girl for nearly three months. Prior to this, the child primarily lived with her mother in accordance with the custody agreement.
