(CBC) The Quebec crown prosecutors’ office says no charges will be filed after speeches at pro-Palestinian demonstrations last October led to accusations of hate speech.
In a news release Thursday, the director of criminal and penal prosecutions (DPCP) says it came to this conclusion “after a rigorous analysis of the available evidence” regarding events on Oct. 14 and 28 in Montreal.
In a speech to protesters on Oct. 28, Imam Adil Charkaoui, speaking Arabic, denounced “Zionist aggressors” and called on Allah to “kill the enemies of the people of Gaza and to spare none of them.”
The crown says a complaint of threats and incitement to violence was filed on Nov. 6 with the Montreal police service. The investigation was then conducted by the RCMP.
