Police warn of "imminent" law enforcement action if protesters don't leave

Share! :D
Steve Bell, interim chief of the Ottawa police, says enforcement against protesters camped outside Parliament Hill and along downtown streets is "imminent."

Bell tells a news conference police from different parts of Ontario and Quebec have joined Ottawa officers and they are absolutely committed to ending this unlawful demonstration.

He says there will be a secure area with over 100 checkpoints to make sure only people working and living in the downtown area will be allowed in, along with people with a lawful reason to be there such as a medical appointment.

He says that if protesters want to leave on their own terms, now is the time to do it.
