Vancouver police say the B-C Prosecution Service approved charges on Monday, following the police investigation into the pro-Palestinian protest on May 31st. 

Officers responded to the scene where 100 protesters were blocking rail line and traffic in East Vancouver, with 14 people originally arrested. 

The accused will appear in court on September 9th.
