JCCF News Release – Ottawa Police Breach of Charter Rights – Right to Peaceful Assembly

On February 18th, 2022, after several weeks of peaceful protests, Canadians witnessed the total and absolute erosion of their faith in the police and their democratically elected officials.

Thousands of police officers were called to Ottawa. Horses trampled protesters, tear gas was deployed, gun point arrests occurred, and excessive force was used.

Please read the statement by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms as it echoes our sentiments on the use of the Emergency Act.
