Several charged after Scotiabank Giller Prize gala interrupted during televised bash
Toronto police have charged three people accused of interrupting last night’s glitzy Scotiabank Giller Prize ceremony with an anti-Israel protest.
Investigators allege the three people, who range in age from 23 to 25, used forged documents to gain access to the invitation-only literary event at the Four Seasons Hotel.
All three face charges of obstructing property and using forged documents, and are due back in court in January.
Kudos to the Band drowning out the Hamas supporters
