Pro-Hamas demonstrators say they won’t be silenced by noise fines

Members of the Palestinian community in Ottawa say they are being unfairly targeted by the city’s bylaw department after being issued nearly $1,500 in fines during a downtown demonstration.

Three tickets worth $490 each were issued to participants of a Saturday march organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement in support of Palestinians in Gaza during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

The afternoon march made its way from the Human Rights Monument on Elgin Street to Rideau Street.
