Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is calling a demonstration – now under police investigation – outside of Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital on Monday a 'reprehensible' display of antisemitism.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is calling a demonstration – now under police investigation – outside of Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital on Monday a "reprehensible" display of antisemitism.
Toronto police confirmed it is investigating “several incidents” that took place in front of Mount Sinai Hospital, which was founded by the Jewish community in Toronto.
In an internal email sent to hospital staff Tuesday, obtained by CTV News Toronto, Mount Sinai President and CEO Dr. Gary Newton said participants climbed scaffolding on the exterior of the building during a demonstration on University Avenue Monday night.
“Mount Sinai was created by the Jewish community of Toronto over a century ago and we know these images are deeply disturbing to members of our founding community,” Newton wrote.
In response, the police force is increasing its presence along hospital row. Newton also said the hospital’s University Avenue entrance will be closed after 6 p.m. on weekdays, and closed entirely on weekends.
“Interfering with the operations of a hospital is not acceptable,” Toronto police said in a statement, encouraging anyone who witnessed or experienced harassment to come forward.
“As we have said before, officers use their discretion during large crowd demonstrations and even if arrests are not deemed safe to make at the time, investigations will continue and charges can be laid at a later date.”
