Back to EpisodesDoctor's Ketchup Protest: Free Speech or Mischief?
Description
London doctor and activist Tarek Loubani, currently in Gaza, has had his mischief charge dropped for spraying ketchup on an MPs office during a protest. He accused London police of bullying on social media. The charge was withdrawn hours after another similar charge was dropped. Loubanis defense team argued it was protected free speech and a part of Canadian democracy. London police chief Thai Truong defended their actions, stating they followed the evidence and law at the time. Loubanis colleague, Western University professor David Heap, still faces separate charges from another protest.
