Montréal police arrest two protesters at Concordia demonstration

Montréal police arrested two protesters at Concordia University last week for allegedly assaulting a campus security guard at an anti-police demonstration. According to the Montréal Gazette, a 21-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man were detained after the guard sustained minor injuries. Both protesters were released on the condition that they appear before a judge. The protest follows a statement from the Concordia Student Union, which accused the university of enabling police brutality and racial discrimination during a pro-Palestinian protest in late September. The student union and other Concordia student groups are calling for a ban on police presence on campus.
