Yves Engler went to jail- he replied to a racist Zionists tweets with ‘genocider’ and ‘fascist’
The Judge said he is out of jail, cleared to tweet, he can name the individual but can not ‘tag’ her.
Yes.. this took police and legal system time
Yves can’t ‘tag’ her..[posted with three cookie clown faces]
Update on the case of the “illegal” X-replies in Montreal, Canada.
No longer being charged for the replies of ‘genocide supporter’ and ‘fascist’ by an person that chose not to block.
Now charged for making Police “feel” unsafe by revealing it to the public!
I really can’t believe the Montreal police are ‘feeling’ vulnerablelike AER feeling I was (without any evidence or trial or hearing) a threat to their lying spying law-violating staff, their huge security department, and the public. I am so threatening and dangerous, they refused my mail. Why? Because I sent them documented evidence of a frac’ers law violations and asked Alberta’s “energy regulator” for energy regulation. Little old me. My frac’d drinking water – which no authority wants to fix or penalize Encana/Ovintiv for – is much more dangerous than I could ever be.
@PENCanada:
PEN Canada is concerned that charges have been brought against Yves Engler, a Canadian writer, who has been detained by Montreal police since Thursday in connection with his publicly expressed opinions on the conflict in Gaza.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects Mr. Engler’s right to hold and express his opinions and to be free from arbitrary detention.
Orest4142:
This clumsy attempt by Zionist zealots to find a way to silence Yves Engler is already backfiring & bringing on a growing backlash, headwinds of blowback. Well ahead of the April 25 trial, as Zionists will be forced to defend the indefensible.
@ABabuluv:
I mean, it’s true with regards to Palestine. Yves Engler was fuckin’ arrested and jailed for calling a zionist advocating for massacring Gazans a fascist for god’s sakes. But I’m venturing he means people condemning those who say we should euthanize trans people or something…
@AfroTree2 Replying to @theJagmeetSingh:
Ukraine. They reap what they sow.
BTW… did you hear about the Montreal Police arresting Yves Engler and putting him in prison for 4 days because some zionist was offended by his tweet?
Why do you want to defend Ukraine, but don’t give a flying fuck about freedom in Canada?
@blackbrrybubbly:
Maybe they need a hug… all jokes aside, I don’t know how this is a lawful arrest.
@AminahSheikh:
So the police in Montreal keep adding charges because they are snowflakes mad about @EnglerYves Twitter and honest journalism . We aren’t authoritarian police state though, just a Canadian democracy hard at work putting public funds in to criminalizing ordinary people.
@GreenAngelFish7:
Agree with you. We don’t want our governments to dictate who we can protest. They’re trying to suppress Yves Engler’s freedom of speech because he dared to oppose a Zionist.
It’s already bad enough that governments send our tax dollars to Israel to bomb children.

What an abuse of court resources and time, not enough judges, all to terrorize, exhaust, stress, punish Yves Engler for daring to speak publicly against those promoting Israel’s genocide and hatred against Palestinians.

@RobinEdgar:
Yves Engler has accepted the modified bail conditions and will soon be “free”.
The bail hearing for #YvesEngler resumes soon. People have been allowed back into the courtroom. The Crown prosecutor and Me John Philpot have discussed the bail conditions, in fact they are continuing to discuss matters while people await the return of the judge.
The Crown prosecutor says that both #DahliaKurtz and #YvesEngler are public figures who post to social media. She says that Yves Engler posts responses to Dahlia Kurtz’s Twitter posts on her account using his own Twitter account, and that he has posted 72 responses since March 2024.
The Crown prosecutor reads out the proposed release conditions which include not making any reference to the complainant(s) on social media. His lawyer Me Philpot contests the condition that prohibits #YvesEngler referring directly or indirectly to Dahlia Kurtz on social media.
Yves Engler is called to the witness stand by the judge. He arrives handcuffed in front and speaks with his lawyer Me John Philpot to indicate that he wants to proceed in French rather than English. The judge says she will be very open and transparent.

TheMuslimLawyer@faisalkutty Feb 24, 2025:
If I were in Montreal, I’d be at this bail hearing.
This isn’t just about Yves Engler or Gaza—it’s about constitutional rights, prosecutorial overreach, and the criminalization of dissent.Like AER, when it was EUB, did to me in 2005 for daring to publicly speak about Encana repeatedly breaking the law and sending them Encana’s own documents proving the company’s crimes; Alberta gov’t and regulators engaging in fraud punishing me instead of the criminal, judging me guilty without any evidence or trial or hearing. I remain waiting for their apology, 20 years later.
When the legal system is weaponized to silence political speech, we all have a stake in the outcome.
The arrest of Yves Engler is a warning to us all.
A journalist and activist is being prosecuted in Canada for publicly criticizing a pro-Israel influencer on social media. His crime? Responding to inflammatory rhetoric. When that wasn’t enough, police hit him with additional charges simply for writing about his case.
This is not just about Engler—it’s about the criminalization of political speech and the use of law enforcement to silence dissent. If this prosecution stands, who’s next?
… Freedom of speech is under attack. This case sets a dangerous precedent—will we allow dissent to be criminalized?AER, Alberta’s mafiosa energy regulator already did that, when it found me guilty in 2005 without even letting me know I was being judged, with no arrests, no finger printing, no charges, enabled by Harper’s charter-hating supreme court of Canada judges, complete with them intentionally publishing Zionist Rosalie Abella lies in their ruling to defame me – all because I asked the regulator to enforce their regulations and laws that illegal aquifer frac’er Encana/Ovintiv had violated when the company contaminated my community’s drinking water aquifers and beseiged us with unmitigated compressor noise. Just think, if this ridiculous abuse of power stands, judges writing dissenting rulings must go to prison, and not allowed access to a lawyer!

Canada dispatch: Montreal activist jailed after series of charges over Israel-Gaza social media posts by Pitasanna Shanmugathas | University of Windsor Faculty of Law, CA, February 21, 2025, JURISTnews
Pitasanna Shanmugathas is a law student at the University of Windsor and a graduate of the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs.
Montreal-based author and activist Yves Engler turned himself in to Montreal police for arrest at 9:30 am Thursday on multiple charges, initially for social media posts about the Israel-Gaza conflict and subsequently for writing about the police enforcement action against him. Following the arrest, Engler appeared in court via video link Thursday afternoon and will remain in detention overnight after the Crown opposed his release without stating reasons.
Speaking to JURIST, Green Party of Quebec leader Alex Tyrrell described Engler as “a very well-known author, activist, and journalist” and “a very outspoken voice in Canadian politics.” Tyrrell added that “in a country that’s supposed to be free and democratic, we’re supposed to be able to have political rights, we’re supposed to be able to speak out against genocide when we see it. And Yves’ rights are being violated right now.”
The case originated when Engler wrote a series of social media responses on X to posts by media personality Dahlia Kurtz, whom he characterized as making “racist, violent anti-Palestinian posts.” Engler had described Kurtz as a “genocide supporter” and “fascist,” referencing her public commentary on the Gaza conflict.
The situation escalated on July 5, 2024 when Kurtz directly addressed Engler on X, stating: “I’m advising you in this one message only that you are harassing me. You’re threatening and you’re making me afraid for my safety.” This message referenced a post Engler had made six days earlier stating, “Racist Dahlia supports killing Palestinian children. 20,000 is not enough she wants even more Palestinian blood spilled.”
According to Engler, instead of using X’s built-in blocking feature, Kurtz pursued criminal charges through a legal firm reportedly associated with Neil Oberman, a Conservative party candidate in the upcoming federal election. Months after Kurtz’s public warning to Engler, Montreal police investigator Crivello contacted Engler on Tuesday to inform him he would face charges of harassment and indecent communication.
“As a father of a two-year old and seven year-old and author of 13 books, it’s beyond absurd to suggest I’m a threat to Dahlia Kurtz,” noted Engler. “I’ve never met Kurtz. Nor have I messaged or emailed her. Nor have I threatened her. I don’t even follow her on X.”
After being notified of these charges, Engler published an article about the situation, prompting the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute to organize an email campaign. Approximately 3,500 people contacted police demanding the charges be dropped. In response to Engler’s article, police added new charges against him for allegedly intimidating and harassing investigator Crivello through his writing about the initial charges.
Senator for British Columbia Yuen Pau Woo spoke out Thursday in support of Engler, stating he supports Engler’s right to “denounce the genocide in Gaza and to call out those who are aiding and abetting crimes against humanity.” The Independent Senator called on the police to “explain the grounds for any charges laid against Mr. Engler and to demonstrate his rights are not being infringed.”
During Thursday’s afternoon virtual court appearance, Engler appeared without glasses and struggled to see the video screen. Engler was cut off mid-sentence when attempting to discuss conditions. When he asked why his release was opposed, the judge dismissed the question, stating it was at the prosecutor’s discretion, and advised him not to speak. A not-guilty plea was recorded before Engler was led out of the room.Zionist judge?
The initial charges against Engler over his social media posts raise significant concerns under Section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, as his social media criticism of Kurtz’s public positions represents political speech on matters of public interest. The additional charges for criticizing police enforcement actions further raise constitutional questions about freedom of expression and the limits of legitimate criticism of law enforcement.
A bail hearing is scheduled Monday to determine the conditions for Engler’s potential release. JURIST reached out to the Montreal police, who declined to comment on Engler’s arrest.

Silencing Dissent: The arrest of Yves Engler and the criminalization of political speech in Canada, The criminal charges laid against Montreal-based author, activist, and Mondoweiss contributor Yves Engler for responding to a pro-Israel influencer’s social media posts should concern anyone who values freedom of expression and the rule of law by Faisal Kutty, Feb 24, 20250, Mondoweiss
Editor’s Note: Yves Engler is a contributor to Mondoweiss. His work can be found here.
The criminal charges laid against Montreal-based author and activist Yves Engler should concern anyone who values freedom of expression and the rule of law in Canada. Engler, known for his outspoken critiques of Canadian foreign policy and Israel’s actions in Gaza, has been charged with harassment and indecent communication for responding to the social media posts of pro-Israel influencer Dahlia Kurtz. Disturbingly, he now faces additional charges merely for writing about his own case.
This case raises fundamental questions about the criminalization of political speech, the use of law enforcement to silence dissent, and whether Canada is sliding into a pattern of repression that weaponizes the justice system against pro-Palestinian voices.
Weaponizing the legal system against political speech
On February 21, Engler turned himself in to Montreal police after being informed that he was being charged with harassment for publicly responding to Kurtz’s posts on X (formerly Twitter). Kurtz, a media personality known for inflammatory rhetoric, claimed Engler’s responses made her feel unsafe, despite the fact that she had never blocked him—a basic feature on X designed to prevent unwanted interactions.
Engler has made it clear that he never directly contacted Kurtz, nor sent her private messages, nor followed her on X. “I’ve never met Kurtz. Nor have I messaged or emailed her. Nor have I threatened her. I don’t even follow her on X,” he stated. His comments were public, critical of her pro-Israel stance, and—while pointed—fell squarely within the domain of protected political speech.
His arrest and charges raise serious concerns about the misuse of the criminal justice system to stifle legitimate criticism of state and media narratives. That Kurtz is reportedly represented by a law firm linked to Conservative Party candidate Neil Oberman—who has been involved in multiple lawsuits against critics of Israel—further underscores the political nature of this case.
Shortly after his arrest, Engler wrote about the charges against him, discussing his case publicly. In response, Montreal police laid additional charges of intimidation, harassment, and interference with law enforcement. According to Engler, these charges stem from an investigator, Crivello, who claimed to feel threatened by his public commentary.
To describe these additional charges as absurd would be an understatement. It is a hallmark of democratic societies that individuals can publicly discuss their own legal battles. The notion that Engler’s writing about his case constitutes intimidation of law enforcement sets a dangerous precedent—one that could be used to punish and silence any individual who dares to criticize the justice system.
Furthermore, Engler has reported serious procedural violations during his detention. While being held at Montreal’s Bordeaux jail, he was reportedly denied access to his lawyer, was not given pen and paper to take notes, and was prevented from fully participating in his hearing. Such restrictions violate basic due process rights and raise questions about the fairness of the proceedings against him.
A gag order disguised as a bail condition
Following the additional charges, the prosecution offered to release Engler on Friday—but only if he agreed not to discuss the case publicly or name Kurtz. Engler refused the condition, correctly identifying it as a flagrant violation of his constitutional rights.
There is no strong legal precedent in Canada for outright prohibiting an accused from commenting on their own case, particularly in a political context. Under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Section 2(b) guarantees freedom of expression, and courts have historically ruled that any restriction on speech must serve a compelling public interest, such as preventing harm or obstruction of justice.
The imposition of speech-restrictive bail conditions is notoriously difficult to justify under Canadian law. Canadian courts have ruled that broad speech restrictions in bail conditions were unconstitutional because they were not narrowly tailored to preventing real harm. Similarly, in R. v. Oakes (1986), the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that any limitation on Charter rights must be proportionate and must minimally impair freedoms.
Based on available information, Engler’s case does not meet this legal threshold. His speech did not incite violence, nor did it pose a credible threat to public safety. Instead, it was engaged in a critical discussion about political actors and their narratives. Criminalizing such speech is an affront to the principles of a democratic society.
A chilling pattern of repression
Engler’s arrest is not an isolated incident. Pro-Palestinian voices across Canada have faced growing legal and political suppression in recent months.
- In November 2023, Calgary police arrested Palestinian-Canadian activist Wesam Khaled for chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” at a protest. While the charges were later dropped, the case had the intended chilling effect—discouraging others from exercising their free speech rights.
- In January 2024, Birju Dattani, Canada’s former human rights chief commissioner, was forced to resign before assuming his role after facing a coordinated attack over his past comments on Palestine. Dattani is now suing Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), and Rebel News’ Ezra Levant for defamation, arguing that their attacks were deliberate and politically motivated.
These and many other less high-profile cases signal a troubling shift in how free expression is being policed in Canada.
A legal and moral crisis
The criminal charges against Engler and the prosecution’s attempt to impose a gag order as a bail condition are clear violations of fundamental rights. If this case is allowed to stand, it will set a dangerous precedent—one where criticizing a public figure on social media can lead to criminal harassment charges, and where police can punish individuals simply for speaking about their own legal cases.
These charges go beyond stifling speech to cross into the realm of oppression and persecution of a dissident. Based on available details, there is no reasonable prospect of conviction, and the charges will most likely be withdrawn or dropped. But the damage is already done.
Bringing negative attention to an accused upends their life, damages their reputation, and chills them—and others—from future activism. Even seasoned activists will think twice before expressing opposition to even ethnic cleansing and possible genocide. The suppressors have already achieved their goal.
I, too, have a long list of pro-genocide supporters who have harassed, doxxed, and threatened me. Should we expect them to be arrested next? Or does the law only apply selectively, used as a weapon against critics of power?
Engler’s bail hearing is scheduled for Monday, 9:00 a.m. at the Palais de Justice, Montreal (1 Notre Dame East, Room 3.12). His case is not just about his own legal battle—it is about whether Canada still upholds its commitment to free expression, or whether it will allow the criminalization of dissent.
The author reached out to the Montreal Police and the Public Prosecution’s office for comment, but they did not respond by the time of publication.
