Police charge 2 Hamas supporters in connection with December demonstration inside Eaton Centre

Toronto police have arrested and charged two men in connection with a pro-Palestinian demonstration inside a mall in downtown Toronto last month.

On Dec. 17, an estimated 150 people participated in a demonstration in front of the Toronto Eaton Centre Zara location. A week earlier, Zara, a multinational clothing retailer, pulled an advertising campaign that some said bore a resemblance to imagery of the Israel-Hamas war.

Investigators with Toronto police allege that during the demonstration, the two men blocked the entrance of the store, preventing the employees from closing.
