Amnesty International Canada is calling for an independent review of the security measures put in place for the G8 and G20 summits.

Human rights suffered considerably during protests in Toronto, the group said.
The police did have a difficult job to do, said Alex Neve, Amnesty International Canada's secretary general, but he questioned the extent of the security buildup.
“We're concerned that both the extensive lead-up to the summit — the heavy, heavy police presence —
[and] all of the talk of new weapons and unclear laws really led to quite a considerable chill.”
Amnesty said the heavy police presence in Toronto, as well as acts of vandalism and violence by some protesters, created an atmosphere of fear that kept many from taking part in peaceful demonstrations.
Meanwhile, police defended their actions throughout the G20 summit. which saw more than 800 people arrested over the weekend.
