On Friday, Rebel News reporter David Menzies was arrested while trying to interview attendees at a Pro-Hamas rally in Toronto, Ontario.

According to Rebel News, the arrest comes just days after the announcement of David’s lawsuit against the RCMP “for a pattern of intimidation and exclusion following shocking displays of police brutality against David.”

Rebel News reports:

This is an outrageous infringement of freedom of the press and independent journalism where no offence was carried out at all and another example of the two-tiered policing that takes place every weekend.

We will fight those and win.

And then we will sue the police and win.
