Occupy Toronto protesters held a rally Saturday afternoon denouncing the arrests of five of the group's members.

Four of the Occupy Toronto protesters appeared in court today after they were arrested during a clash with police on University Avenue Friday night.

Police have said that was the second time they had asked the protesters to remove their tents and gear. When they did not comply police said they had to forcibly remove them.

The two men and two women are facing a number of charges including: obstructing a peace officer, possession of marijuana and assault with intent to resist arrest.
