University protests in Vancouver and Nanaimo have been ongoing for about two months
Pro-Palestinian protesters occupying university sites in British Columbia say they’ll continue to act on campuses after a court injunction that led to the clearing out of a similar encampment in Toronto this week.
A social media statement on behalf of protesters there and at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo called this week’s court ruling in Ontario “shameful” for prioritizing property ownership over students’ rights at the University of Toronto. At the University of B.C., the number of tents has dropped to about 38 from about 75 in early May, and only a handful of people could be seen inside the fenced protest zone.Meanwhile, Vancouver Island University issued an update this week on the encampment there, saying a group of about 25 protesters had occupied a school building and disrupted an exam on June 28.
The protesters at the University of Toronto cleared out after the ruling by Ontario Superior Court Justice Markus Koehnen Tuesday, which said the demonstration had taken away the school’s ability to control what happens on its property.
