Description

May 26–28 Montréal The Ligue des droits de l'homme (LDH), a Québec civil liberties group, sponsored a conference entitled "Police and Freedom" at the Université de Montréal. The meeting aimed to establish Opération Liberté/Operation Freedom, a large coalition to "defend and extend democratic rights and freedoms." Gays and lesbians were recognized as targets for police attack, as had occurred during the pre-Olympic "clean-up" in 1976 and the Truxx raid in 1977. The central activity of the coalition was to prepare for a large demonstration in Montréal to be held October 16, 1978, which was later postponed to November 17, 1978. (See also October 16, 1978, and November 17, 1978.)
