(en) Canada, Ontario, Olympic torch bearer knocked down by Anti-Olympics protesters*
Date
Tue, 29 Dec 2009 21:15:23 +0200
On December 28, 2009, at 7:30 am, about 40-50 Anti-Olympics protesters took to the streets
in Guelph to unwelcome the 2010 Olympics Torch Relay. When the torch was approaching, the
protesters took to the street to precede the Torch through downtown. Stacks of pamphlets
were handed out or thrown around the patriotic Olympics fans, which described the reasons
why we oppose the 2010 Olympics. ---- AND THEN! The protest and the torch had a head-on
collision! The torch relay rounded a corner only to be met with chants and banners “NO
OLYMPICS ON STOLEN NATIVE LAND”! A scuffle then occurred between the torch security/
entourage and the protesters. The torch bearer and one of their escorts fell to the
ground, dropping the torch. Police rushed to the scene but it was too late. The torch was
ambushed.
One person was arrested and is being charged with assault.
No Olympics on Stolen Native Land!
Honour Harriet Nahanee!
Stop the Police and State Repression!
