Ottawa police opt against laying charges after 'desecration' at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier ottnews ottawa

Flowers are laid at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the National War Memorial on Sunday, Jan. 30, 2022, a day after a person was seen dancing on the tomb during the Freedom Convoy protests on Parliament Hill.

"The man was identified and spoken to," the Ottawa Police Service said in an email to CBC News. "He showed remorse for the incident and police are confident that he will not repeat it." Anita Anand, the Minister of National Defence, said in a tweet that the "desecration of this memorial is unacceptable and shameful."

Daniel Coates, an Ottawa resident who wrote Naqvi with concern about the American flag incident, said the site should be under 24-hour guard.
