Riot police violently evict housing rights activists from Montréal park
On July 5, 2003, approximately 400 housing rights activists and the homeless set up camp in Parc Lafontaine–one of Montréal’s larger parks, situated in the heart of the Plateau Mont-Royal. Prior to setting up the camp near the western edge of the park, the group staged a short march along the park’s perimetre before entering and raising tents.
