Jewish women protest in Toronto’s Israeli Consulate
January 8, 2009
TORONTO (JTA) -- Eight Jewish women were arrested after they entered the Israeli consulate in Toronto and began protesting Israel's actions in Gaza.
The women entered the heavily secured consulate in pairs Wednesday. Once all eight were inside, they staged a sit-in.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police were called and led the women out in handcuffs. The protesters were turned over to Metro Toronto Police and each was charged with one count of breach of the peace. The charges were later dropped and the women were released.
