Journalist Ezra Levant Arrested While Covering Pro-Hamas Protest in Toronto

Levant claims his arrest violated his Charter rights after police cited public safety concerns in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood.

Ezra Levant, founder of Rebel News, was arrested while filming a pro-Hamas protest in a Jewish neighborhood in Toronto on Sunday.
Police stated Levant’s presence was inciting the crowd and arrested him for 'breach of the peace' after he refused to leave the area.
Levant argued that his arrest violated his Charter rights and claimed he was targeted for being Jewish and peacefully documenting the event.
Protesters at the rally displayed Hamas-related symbols and costumes, including one dressed as deceased Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, sparking further tensions.
Levant was detained for several hours before being released without charges and plans to sue Toronto Police for the incident.
