This past weekend, independent journalist Natasha Graham was arrested by police while covering an anti-Israel rally in Montreal. Rebel News reporter Alexa Lavoie was also covering the demonstration and was nearby when the incident happened.
Graham was herself the victim of multiple assaults from the pro-Hamas crowd — prior to police acting on behalf of the mob and arresting her. In response, Rebel News launched SaveNatasha.com, a crowdfunding website to help Graham cover the legal fees from this shameful act of policing.
But Montreal’s protest wasn’t the only anti-Israel rally to feature protesters hostile to the independent press.
