MONTREAL — Lawyers for McGill University will be going to court today seeking an injunction to dismantle the pro-Palestinian encampment that has been on its grounds since last month.
In a judicial application for an injunction dated Friday, McGill says the encampment poses a"security, safety and public health risk" and has caused tensions to escalate on campus.
The protesters are demanding the university divest from companies they say are complicit in what they describe as Israel's occupation of Palestine, and cut ties with Israeli institutions. The university is asking a judge to order the protesters to stop camping on or occupying its grounds and to authorize Montreal police to assist the school in dismantling the encampment if called upon.
