Ten charged in Ontario prison protest

KINGSTON, Ontario, Aug. 9 (UPI) -- Canadian police said they arrested a 10th protester Monday, a day after a large demonstration outside an Ontario prison farm that is slated for closure.

Several hundred protesters crowded outside the gates of Frontenac Prison in Kingston Sunday to prevent the removal of a herd of cattle from the farm, which is among six being shut down by the government.

Nine people were arrested on mischief charges, including a woman in her 80s, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported. UPI
