Sit-In: Video and Area

sit-in: The Interior Ministry said the operation targeting Diraz, home to Sheikh Isa Qassim and a long-running sit-in supporting him, was to maintain security and public order, according to Brandon Sun. It called the area a haven for wanted fugitives from justice. At least five demonstrators were killed and others wounded. Activists shared photographs and videos showing youths throwing stones and climbing on an armoured personnel carrier. Another video showed a bulldozer smashing through the area that once hosted the sit-in. Gunfire could be heard in one video as white smoke from tear gas hung in the air. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
