(CTV) A prominent leader in B.C.’s Jewish community is hoping a police raid on a Vancouver home linked to a pro-Palestine group — which was recently deemed a terrorist entity by the government — will finally lead to charges.
“Justice delayed is justice denied,” said Nico Slobinsky, vice-president of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs — Pacific Region.
The VPD’s Major Crime Section and Emergency Response Team executed a search warrant on a home in the 1800 block of East 1st Avenue on Thursday.
Police said one person was taken into custody then released “pending completion of the investigation,” which is being conducted under a section of the Criminal Code on inciting hatred.
