Political commentator Ezra Levant says he intends to sue the Toronto police service for arresting him as he was filming an anti-Israel protest in Toronto on Sunday.

Levant wasn’t charged but he is accusing the police of breaching his Charter rights and refusing to protect him.

Levant is widely known as a political activist, commentator and the CEO and founder of Rebel News. On the media outlet’s website, Levant, who is Jewish, wrote about the experience, saying he “was trying to report on a pro-Hamas terrorist rally.”
