Canada protests: Police begin to make arrests at Ottawa protest
Police are making arrests at a protest site in Canada’s capital which has been occupied by anti-vaccine mandate demonstrators for three weeks.
The operation started early on Friday morning in downtown Ottawa with police saying some protesters surrendered.
It comes days after the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act to crack down on demonstrations.
A group of protesters have remained in the city in defiance of orders to leave.
On Thursday, police detained two leaders of the trucker convoy. Tamara Lich and Chris Barber were charged with counselling to commit the offence of mischief.
