I have been called in to 52 Division. I am requesting access to my client - who has a constitutional right to counsel immediately and without delay pursuant to Section 10b of the Charter. It's been 3 hours now.
UPDATE: I was told by 52 division at 2:47 pm that I would be granted access to my client in 5 minutes. 5 minutes have turned into 30 minutes.
Update: My client is being detained without charges and without a lawyer. Section 10b of the Charter guarantees the right to counsel immediately and without delay. @marksaunderstps Release these Canadians now.
Update: 3 Canadians have been detained for 5 HOURS at 52 Division. I am requesting all three be released now @marksaunderstps @JohnTory
Update: 3 Canadians have been arrested and detained without access to a lawyer for approx 5 hours. My client tells me she will develop seizures without access to her medication. I am requesting release now @philldmorgan @jpags @KamilKaramali @KrisReports @angelinaaking
Update: I have been called into 52 Division. I fail to understand why I have to learn about the whereabouts of my clients through the media. I am requesting release of all 3 Canadians NOW.

Keep sharing widely
UPDATE: I am at 52 Division with our elected officials. TPS told the media and the Canadian public that my client has been released. That was 3 hours ago. And still no sign of my client. This is an ONGOING detention.
I am w/ elected officials @ChrisGloverMPP @SuzeMorrison @beyrima demanding the release of 3 Canadians who have been detained for 8+ hours. Police informed the media that 2 have been released. Not true. Please sustain the pressure. @CNN
To Toronto Police Services: The world is watching. Take the high road. Honour your word and press release and release the detainees now. Stop negotiating through the media.
@marksaunderstps and @JohnTory: Where is the honesty? Where is the transparency? Is this the leadership you want the world to see? The elected officials and movement will not leave until ALL detainees are released
BREAKING: I have negotiated the release of my client effective immediately, who was being held at 55 division, NOT 52. The other 2 detainees are still in custody and working with their legal counsel. The movement will NOT be leaving until ALL have been released @marksaunderstps
BREAKING: 2 out of 3 Canadians detained have now been released. The movement will not leave 52 division until ALL have been released #FreeTheThree #FreeThemNow
BREAKING: ALL 3 detainees have now been released. Court date will be September 30th at Old City Hall. The road ahead is long, so the fight continues
This is the power of collective action and organizing. I want to thank @BLM_TO for their leadership organizing this protest and all who have been boosting the message online and beyond. We will win this fight to #DefundThePolice as long as we keep showing up.
