Leader of pro-Palestine rallies in Toronto is a convicted pedophile – court documents

Another high-profile left-wing activist has been doxed as a sexual predator.

Raza Bahadur, an organizer and speaker at pro-Palestine rallies in Toronto, is currently on probation for sex crimes committed against children under the age of 16 years old.

Bahadur was convicted of the crime of sexual interference, and is required to register with the sex offender registry, according to court documents provided to Toronto 99.

The court documents were provided by Meir Israel Weinstein, a Jewish man and social media influencer that operates an X (Twitter) account titled Never Again Live.

Sexual interference is a described as “every person who, for a sexual purpose, touches, directly or indirectly, with a part of the body or with an object, any part of the body of a person under the age of 16 years,” according to the criminal code of Canada.

“Raza Bahadur is a convicted [child] sex offender. He is also a leader of the pro-Hamas group that has been targeting the Jewish Community,” Weinstein said in a statement to Toronto 99.

Weinstein wants to apply for a court order prohibiting Bahadur from attending an upcoming protest titled Walk for Israel.

Bahadur was previously charged by Toronto Police for publicly inciting hatred and for not complying with a probation order, according to a press release issued earlier in April.

Weinstein has accused Bahadur of actively targeting Jewish children, and Toronto 99 is in the process of verifying these claims.

Toronto 99 has reached out to Bahadur for comment, but did not receive an immediate response. However, the court documents provided by Weinstein appear to be authentic.

This is not the first time an influential left-wing figure has been charged or convicted of sex crimes against children.

Toronto 99 previously reported on how the leader of an LGBT organization in Western Canada was charged with child sex crimes.
