MONTREAL — An “enormous number” of alleged hate crimes have been reported in Montreal in the wake of Sunday’s shooting massacre at a mosque in Quebec City, officials say.

On Wednesday, the head of Montreal’s anti-radicalization centre told the city’s executive committee that the centre had received 24 calls since Sunday, including 10 related to Islamophobia and four related to the extreme right.

Herman Deparice-Okomba said four of those cases had been transferred to police.

“It (24) is an enormous number in 72 hours,” he said.

Deparice-Okomba’s comments echoed those of Montreal police Chief Philippe Pichet, who told reporters the day prior that the force had also seen a spike in the number of reported hate crimes since the mosque attack.

The Montreal police department investigated 55 hate crimes against religions in 2016 compared with 24 in 2013. It created a special hate-crimes unit to probe such complaints last May.
