An organizer of recent protests in support of Palestinians in the ongoing Gaza conflict says she’s shocked and disappointed by the city’s decision to hand out bylaw noise infractions at the event, noting that the event has gone on for over 10 weeks with no issues.
Sarah Abdul-Karim, a member of the Palestinian Youth Movement, confirmed Sunday that three tickets, at $490 each, were handed out during Saturday afternoon’s event.
“Each person who was on the (microphone) got a ticket,” she said.
Ottawa police did multiple attempts to silence this protest, but we are still here chanting: “Shame shame Ottawa Police” #gaza #Palestine #GazaConflict #Isreal pic.twitter.com/mOJhUZqVsC
