Toronto police arrest two pro-Palestinian activists for willful promotion of hatred
The arrests come amid heightened tensions over recurring protests at the intersection of Bathurst Street and Sheppard Avenue West.
Toronto police have arrested two pro-Palestinian activists for willfully promoting hatred and public incitement, as part of an ongoing investigation into a March protest. The arrests bring the total number of individuals charged in the investigation to eight. The suspects, Daniela Bonamico and Shahram Nayeb-Yazdi, were found in possession of antisemitic signs that they allegedly displayed at the protest, marching towards pro-Israel supporters while shouting derogatory slurs.
The investigation stems from a weekly protest on March 15, which saw pro-Palestinian protesters and pro-Israel counter-protesters clash at the intersection of Bathurst Street and Sheppard Avenue West.
