Jean-Olivier Chénier

Trapped with his men in a church by the government troops who set flames to the building, he was shot to death while attempting to escape through a window.

During the three days the body was left exposed, a witness swore he had seen it stretched out on the tavern bar: "The chest was opened and the heart hung outside it.

The name was condemned because Jean-Olivier Chénier fought on holy ground inside a church.

However, this statue was removed at about the same time when the new Université de Montréal Health Centre was inaugurated, in 2016, in 2021.

The Chénier Cell of the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ), held responsible for the killing of Pierre Laporte, was also named for him.
