Freedom Convoy: Police arrest over 70 protestors in Ottawa at truckers protest |
|
Over 100 people had been arrested by 6:20pm on Friday night, and 21 trucks seized, as riot police moved into the protest zone in Ottawa - some on horseback forcibly clearing the way. A police force of hundreds descended on the Freedom Convoy truckers in Ottawa, Canada, making arrests and towing away big rigs that have formed a three-week blockade protesting the country's vaccine mandates. Using Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's extraordinary powers under the Emergencies Act, police have established a 'no-go' zone around the demonstration in Ottawa's core. Citing the 'exceptional circumstances' of the police action, Canada's Parliament suspended Friday's debate on Trudeau's emergency powers, sparing the Liberal leader another day of uncomfortable speeches from MPs who fiercely oppose his use of the Emergencies Act.
