### 1) **Mylène Hébert — jailed / re-detained over social-media defamation injunction contempt in Quebec**
**Evidence label:** **Strong press + mainstream anchor; court-record anchor reported but official judgment not retrieved due CanLII/DataDome block.**

**Why it fits PBC Speech Watch:**  
This is a direct speech-pressure case: social-media allegations → civil defamation/injunction orders → repeated contempt findings → imprisonment / arrest warrant / re-detention.

**Factual anchors:**
- Radio-Canada reports Hébert was sentenced to **eight months’ imprisonment** after being found in contempt for not complying with court orders requiring removal/publication steps tied to allegedly defamatory social-media posts.
- Vingt55 reports the July 13 decision was by **Justice Antoine Aylwin**, Quebec Superior Court, with a **$10,000 fine**.
- The underlying dispute concerns posts alleging former Drummondville mayor **Alain Carrier** was involved in pedophilia / sex-trafficking networks.
- Vingt55 and Radio-Canada report the court had ordered Hébert to remove publications and publish the Jan. 15 judgment on Facebook/TikTok.
- Vingt55 reports she was released Aug. 6 after agreeing to comply, then returned to detention Aug. 10 after alleged non-compliance / remaining content.

**Named judges / courts for JudgeWatch:**
- **Quebec Superior Court**
- Reported judges: **Justice Bernard Synnott** Jan. 15 underlying defamation judgment; **Justice Thomas M. Davis** May contempt decision; **Justice Antoine Aylwin** July imprisonment/fine; **Justice Catherine Desfossés** Aug. 6 release-compliance hearing.
- **Recommended JudgeWatch action:** Yes — create a neutral source trail for the Quebec Superior Court orders and named judges, especially if official judgments can later be retrieved from CanLII/SOQUIJ. Frame as a speech/injunction/contempt source trail, not judicial misconduct.

**Cautions / fairness:**
- Do **not** repeat Hébert’s allegations as true. Reporting says the court found the allegations false/diffamatory.
- Do not frame this as simple “jailed for a Facebook opinion”; the enforcement is tied to alleged defamation, permanent injunctions, and contempt of court.
- Official judgment text was not retrieved in this run; CanLII blocked with DataDome/CAPTCHA. Use “reported by Radio-Canada/Vingt55” until official text is obtained.

**Recommended action:**  
**Add to PBC Speech Watch as a strong civil-contempt/social-media case.** Also queue a JudgeWatch source-trail entry once official judgment PDFs or CanLII/SOQUIJ records are accessible.
