Description

October 22 Toronto A deputation from CIRPA was refused a place on the agenda of the October 22 meeting of the Metro Toronto Police Commission. Chairman Phil Givens refused the request, stating the agenda for that date was "overloaded with items of importance." Nevertheless, members of CIRPA and a lawyers' group stormed the meeting and presented sworn statements and letters detailing thirty-six allegations of torture and abuse by some units of Metro Toronto Police. The commission agreed to appoint three senior officers to investigate the allegations. (See also November 5, 1981, and December 10, 1981.)
