Activists are condemning arrests at a peaceful protest this morning outside a G20 detention centre in Toronto's east end.
At an afternoon news conference, the Toronto Community Mobilization Network said they had negotiated with police ahead of the march and received assurances that demonstrators would not be arrested if they protested peacefully.
Spokeswoman Maryam Adrangi said police were rounding people up when they went to the detention centre to try to find their friends.
“We are finding police are meeting them there with brutality,” she said. “They are circling groups of people in smaller groups. We have seen plainclothes officers snatching people and throwing them into cars.”
