Bakan said that Ian Wiltow Schortinghuis was the type of “unpretentious” person that organizers persuade themselves to arrest instead of those “pulling the strings”. “He is a person whose personal characteristics are easily preyed upon,” Bakan said. “If they say, ‘We’re going to arrest so many people,’ that’s like using people as cannon fodder....
