Ottawa Police Tow Trucks From Convoy Protest Site
Canadian police towed trucks from the site of a weeks-long protest in Ottawa, after announcing on February 18 that demonstrators who did not leave the area would be arrested.
The Ottawa Police department said that its officers were moving in around Nicholas Street near Parliament Hill in Ottawa, and asked protesters to leave. “Some protesters are surrendering and are being arrested,” the force said on its official Twitter account.
Demonstrators had been defiant over police warnings to disband the demonstrations, which have been ongoing in the Canadian capital for three weeks. Credit: Caryma Sa’d via Storyful
