In an email to CTV News Toronto, police shared a statement from the Crown which said the charges were dropped in the absence of a “reasonable prospect of conviction” against four of the 11 accused.
Footage from CP24’s cameras at the time showed the posters displayed an image of the company’s Jewish CEO Heather Reisman alongside the words “Funding Genocide.” The bookstore chain has been targeted by protests in the past due to Reisman’s HESEG Foundation for Lone Soldiers, which offers scholarships to those without family in Israel who serve in their military.
In statements released by Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East and the “Jews Say No to Genocide Coalition,” the groups called for the charges against the group to be dropped and said the police’s description of the mischief as “hate-motivated” was unjustified.
