Help Defend Natasha Graham — A Journalist Arrested for Reporting the Truth

Independent journalist Natasha Graham was arrested in Montreal while doing her job — covering an anti-Israel protest in the heart of the old city. Before police took her away in handcuffs, Natasha had already been assaulted multiple times by the aggressive, pro-Hamas crowd.

Instead of protecting her, the Montreal police — the SPVM — acted on behalf of the mob. They arrested her.

Earlier that same day, the same police officer physically removed Rebel News reporter Alexa Lavoie from the protest and threatened her with arrest — before turning on Natasha and arresting her instead. Now, Natasha is facing two criminal charges, and she’ll need to fight them in court.

She says the arrest was not only unjust — it was violent. She was injured. The handcuffs were painfully tight. The mob cheered as the police dragged her away.

This isn’t law enforcement. This is political policing.

My photo here was taken just before Natasha was arrested for allegedly “assaulting” a police officer. The officer kept advancing toward Natasha despite protesters being metres away. This caused her to step back as he moved into her personal space, closer and closer. The officer… pic.twitter.com/HDREScyVcj

We’re raising money to help cover Natasha’s legal fees. She deserves the best lawyer we can get — someone who will defend her rights and push back against this abuse of power.

We’ll use the funds raised on this page to pay her legal costs. But we can’t commit to paying more than what we raise — so if you care about freedom of the press, please help us fight this.

Stand with Natasha. Stand for freedom of the press. Chip in now.

The mob cheered as the SPVM works on their behalf. This was after her and I were assaulted openly by the unruly crowd.
