WHERE: Queen’s Park
WHEN: Saturday August 3, 3 p.m.
WHAT: Al-Quds Day, an annual day of anti-Zionist protest observed mainly in Iran (but also in other countries around the world) came to Toronto over the weekend when around 200 supporters convened on Queen’s Park for a rally. The protesters, whose aim was to decry Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, were joined by a smaller faction of pro-Israel protesters. Both groups marched to the courthouse on University Avenue.
