Hundreds of people from all walks of life have congregated in front of Toronto Police headquarters for a jail solidarity rally.
The Toronto Community Mobilization Network organized the protest, which began around 5:30 p.m. and is intended to be a peaceful one.
Police officers in full riot gear are in the vicinity of the station at 40 College St., near Bay Street, should the situation get out of hand.
Speakers slated to speak during the demonstration include Naomi Klein, Ben Powless, Judy Rebick, David McNally, and Abeer Majeed.
People allegedly brutalized by the police during this past weekend's G20 Summit are also planning to share their stories during the demonstration.
Streetcar service in the area has been rerouted as a result of the gathering.
