The daughter of a member of the Quebec legislature has been arrested after a series of early morning police raids in Montreal targetting suspects allegedly linked to a series of mischief and vandalism incidents in the metro system and in the office of former education minister Line Beauchamp.

Yalda Machouf-Khadir, 19, daughter of Québec Solidare MNA Amir Khadir, was arrested at her father’s house shortly after 6 a.m. Thursday morning.

Amir Khadir confirmed the arrest and said police officers were asked to remove their shoes as guests in his home, but they refused.

As police officers entered the Khadir’s home, a sign near the front door read: “When injustice becomes the law, resistance becomes a duty.”

Khadir said his daughter should face charges for any wrongdoing on her part.

“But everyone is equal before the law. If reprehensible acts were committed by my daughter, or by anyone else, they need to answer for their acts and the police will do its job,” he told reporters.
