Montreal Anti-NATO Protest Turns Violent, Three Arrested

 

A demonstration against NATO in Montreal escalated into violence on Thursday, leading to the arrest of three individuals. Protesters, rallying against Canada’s involvement in the military alliance, clashed with police in the downtown area after the initially peaceful march took a confrontational turn.

Authorities reported that some demonstrators threw projectiles and vandalized property, prompting police to deploy tear gas and disperse the crowd. "While most attendees were peaceful, a small group engaged in unlawful acts, forcing us to intervene," said a spokesperson for the Montreal Police.

The protest was organized by a coalition of anti-war groups criticizing NATO's role in global conflicts and demanding that Canada reduce its military spending. Activists have called for the government to redirect funds toward social programs and domestic priorities instead.

The arrested individuals face charges ranging from mischief to assaulting a peace officer. No serious injuries were reported, but tensions remain high as organizers plan to continue their demonstrations in the coming weeks.
