MONTREAL – Lawyers for Montreal’s McGill University are in court this morning seeking an injunction to dismantle the pro-Palestinian encampment that has been on its downtown campus since last month.
In a judicial application dated Friday, McGill says the encampment poses a “security, safety and public health risk” and has escalated tensions on campus.
McGill cites “fierce verbal exchanges” between protesters and counter-protesters earlier this month, barrels of possible “human waste” on site, possible fire code breaches and the encampment’s potential as a “magnet” for further clashes with counter-demonstrators.
