Soldiers of Odin clash with demonstrators, police at Vancouver anti-racism rally

Vancouver police were forced to intervene after a group of men from a group that calls itself “The Soldiers of Odin” turned up at an anti-racism rally at Victory Square Sunday afternoon.

Rally organizer Imtiaz Popat says about a hundred people showed up at Victory Square in advance of International Day Against Racism, when members of the allegedly anti-immigrant group Soldiers of Odin showed up and began pushing.

“They actually attacked us, intimidating the crowd, picking up chairs and trying to hit people. The police were mostly watching and finally arrested those who were inciting violence but let those people who weren’t inciting physical violence there to try and intimidate the crowd.”
