Here's an interview with Submedia at Allan Gardens.
And a short report received via the Media Centre.
Post links or brief accounts from any reliable source.
According to the @mediacoop twitter feed, journalists are being arrested/detained for photographing police stopping and searching protesters.
I was just at the protest handing out water.
It's heavily flanked by police on both sides. I walked through a gap in the police line and a cop grabed me and told me I wasn't able to go through but I pulled myself away and went through anyways.
Got into a shouting match with him before he scolded his fellow officers and told them to "tighten up!" the line.
It's a hot day and I hope that water came in handy for those people on the streets...
no NOII member was arrested today.

Lots of reports of being pinned in at Elm & Univeristy with riot police and police on horses. March is stalled, trying to split the crowd. Worries about dehydration.
Recieved several reports that the police were taking away things that people needed, but protesters shared among themselves what they had.
"Medics got their epipen confiscated. So I gave the medics my epipen" said Barbara Legault from Montreal. When asked what she would do if she needed it she said "If I need it I'll find a medic. They have it, it's collective, for everyone".
Sarah Shoshana was a bit worried about sunstroke "They took my earplugs and my bandana. And they took Xavier's water. But not by water".
heres a video with report from amc journalists talk about confiscations and cops attacking the crowd at the march:
