Appeal for public help exposing police crimes
Groups launch peoples’ investigation into police abuses at G20
Toronto – Community groups are calling on the public to come forward with photos, video, and eye witness accounts of police violence against civilians during the G20 summits in Toronto. This evidence will be used to ensure that there are consequences for all those who beat and injured people, and for the masterminds who conspired to plan and give orders for the widespread police violence and repression that was experienced by thousands on the streets. TCMN will be displaying on Tuesday 6 photos, and videos of police abuses, and is asking the public to help identify the officers involved.
What: Press conference featuring TCMN, Movement Defence Committee, Toronto Street Medics, and injured protesters.
When: Tuesday July 13, 11 a.m.
Where: Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, 252 Bloor Street West, room 7-216
Visuals: Six large, high resolution images of police abuse. Videos of police abuses.

The G8/G20 meetings took place in Ontario from June 25-27, 2010. Toronto-based organizations of women, people of colour, indigenous peoples, the poor, the working class, queer and trans people and disabled people organized a peoples convergence with 40,000 people taking to the streets, standing up for justice in collaboration and solidarity!
Activists, community members, inspired and outraged individuals came together as a movement to demand justice for people and the planet. Over a week of mobilizations, events, workshops and direct actions took place in the face of state and police repression, violence and infringements on rights and freedoms.
We must continue to mobilize and build greater solidarity among our communities- an important part of this is supporting all those arrested during the G20 summit, including our allies still in detention, and those released on bail.
