Police raids on eve of Grand Prix

Montreal police conducted an early morning raid on Thursday resulting in numerous arrests.

The arrests included Quebec Solidaire MNA Amir Khadir’s daughter. In a report by the Montreal Gazette, nineteen year old Yalda Machouf-Khadir was arrested at the family home at 6am.

She was wanted along with ten other people arrested on Thursday in connection with the vandalism of the riding office of Line Beauchamp on April twelfth. 

Amir Khadir said that he hoped the arrests were not a motivated show of force by the police on the eve of the Montreal Grand Prix.

Premier Charest did not comment on the issue.
