Toronto man charged with terrorism over Hamas-linked pro-Palestinian protests

Toronto police announced terrorism charges against individuals connected to pro-Palestinian protests in 2024, alleging they acted for the benefit of Hamas and used public statements to advocate harm against Israeli and Jewish communities; several searches of residences and long investigative timelines preceded the charges, with Ontario and federal authorities approving them. The reports identify at least two suspects, with one case naming a 32-year-old and another a 33-year-old, each facing potential penalties up to ten years in prison as the investigations continue.
