Biography

Kevin Chianella is a U.S. anarchist who participated in the June 26, 2010 protests against the G20 summit in Toronto. Canadian authorities accused him of offenses connected with property damage and confrontations during the demonstrations. Chianella surrendered to U.S. marshals on February 28, 2013, waived extradition, and was transferred to Canadian custody on March 5. After release on bail, he pleaded guilty on February 13, 2014 to 16 of the original 53 counts and received a 24-month federal penitentiary sentence. Contemporary prisoner-support reports placed him first at Joyceville Institution and later at Beaver Creek Institution.

Release month verified October 12, 2026: NYC Anarchist Black Cross's original updates, read directly in the browser, distinguish the June 1, 2015 approaching-release fundraiser from the June 29 completed-release notice. The supported June release month was added without using the two-year sentence to calculate an endpoint. No identifiable photograph was inferred from unbridged contemporary namesake images.

Case

Correctional Service of Canada
Charges: 53 counts including mischief, assault with a weapon, arson, and break-and-enter — G-20 Summit protests, Toronto, Canada, June 2010; extradited from the United States to Canada
Arrested: Feb 28, 2013
Sentenced: Feb 13, 2014
Incarcerated: Feb 13, 2014
Released: June 2015
Sentence: 24 months in a Canadian federal penitentiary after guilty pleas to 16 counts. NYC ABC's June 1, 2015 update says release is approaching, while its June 29 update confirms completed release after time served. Together these support June 2015 release at month precision; June 1 is a storage placeholder, not an asserted release day. Exact day and separate earlier bail endpoint remain unresolved.
