Adnaan and Tor Stumo, the two Massachusetts men who were detained by Israeli forces while aboard a volunteer flotilla bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza, were released earlier this month.

Toronto police say eight people have been arrested after they allegedly broke into the office of a member of Parliament and refused to leave as part of a protest Thursday morning. Police say they were called to the protest near Bloor Street W. and Dorval Road around 11:30 a.m. They allege that about 30 to 40 people forced their way into the common area of an MP's office, and a lone staff member called 911.

Two of the organizers of No Azure for Apartheid - Abdo Mohamed and Hossam Nasr - were fired for disrupting colleagues with "bullhorns and speakers."

The group has since made headlines for interrupting Microsoft executives during a 50th anniversary celebration and at the company's Build developer conference earlier this year.
