MONTREAL - Charges against three pro-Palestinian activists accused of criminally harassing federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller have been dropped.
The activists' lawyer, Barbara Bedont, said today that the charges were dropped on Nov. 26. 29 after the three defendants released a video contradicting the allegations against them.
Mohanned Mansour, Samar Elkahlout and Wendy Ing have been charged with criminal harassment and malicious damage for allegedly damaging Miller's car outside a Liberal by-election office in Montreal in September.
Elkahlout, also known as Samar Alkhdour, regularly holds protests outside Miller's Montreal office to protest the death of his 13-year-old daughter, who died in the Gaza Strip while waiting for permission to come to Canada.
Bedont said in an interview that his clients deserve an apology from Miller and that the minister should meet with them.
A spokesperson said Miller would not comment on the matter, adding that the minister's Montreal office will remain closed until the safety of his staff is assured. This report from The Canadian Press was first published on December 2, 2024.
