Testimonies from people who've been brutalized by police

Over the past two days, police have rounded and arrested up hundreds
of people. They have been denied access to lawyers, telephones, food
and water, and held in deplorable conditions in makeshift steel cages.
Many have been beaten in the streets and in their homes; shot at with
rubber bullets and tear gas; some have been sent to hospital with
severe injuries. Hundreds are still in custody as of Sunday night.

We need to get our people out. We need to take our city back from the
armed fortress that it has been turned into.

We will let the police know that we will not tolerate the arrests,
beatings and attempt to intimidate the people of Toronto. Our
community stands with the people whose lives have been disrupted by
the G20, and by police violence. We will demand that all those
arrested be released, and released now!
