Canada's Largest Mass Arrest | G20 Toronto

In June 2010, a protest broke out during the G20 Summit in Toronto, Canada, leading to a clash between riot police and anti-G20 protesters. This event resulted in the largest mass arrest in Canadian history, with over 1,100 people detained.

After a decade of court proceedings, a class-action lawsuit against the Toronto Police Services Board was settled for $16.5 million in 2020. As part of the settlement, the police publicly acknowledged the poor conditions in which protesters were detained and committed to changing their approach to policing protests in the future.
