MPs urge federal inquiry on G8, G20 security, rights violations

[CHIMO]

OTTAWA—A Commons committee is calling for a full judicial inquiry into policing problems at the G8 and G20 summits.

The public safety committee recommends the independent inquiry look at decision-making by all levels of government that led property damage, civil liberties violations and harm to protesters during the June events.

Leaders of the G8 countries gathered in cottage country near Huntsville, Ont., before joining other politicians for the G20 summit in Toronto.

More than 1,000 people were arrested at the G20 meeting amid extensive damage to shops and vehicles in the city’s downtown.
