Charges against Ontario doctor Tarek Loubani, who squirted ketchup as protest, dropped by Crown.

A mischief charge against Dr. Tarek Loubani, an Ontario doctor who squirted ketchup on the office of Liberal MP Peter Fragiskatos as a form of protest against Israel's actions in Gaza, has been dropped by the Crown. Loubani was arrested in November 2023, but the charges were withdrawn as they were deemed not in the public interest. Loubani and his lawyers argue that the police's handling of the protest was heavy-handed and criticized the suppression of legitimate political expression.
