Original Toronto Star caption: Released from Prison after a six-day sentence for contempt of court, Ed Ziemba, New Democratic MPP for High Park-Swansea, is greeted by a cheering throng of supporters as he leaves the old city hall. Ziemba was jailed for refusing to disclose the identity of the person who supplied him with documents that led to fraud charges against a medical laboratory. The Ontario Court of Appeal has been asked to rule whether Ziemba was right to refuse.
