Pro-Palestine encampment remains at University of Toronto despite safety concerns

The University of Toronto says it's concerned about safety as a pro-Palestine encampment still stands at its downtown campus.

A statement from the U of T issued Thursday followed tents, banners and flags being set up on campus as students continue to call on the post-secondary institution to cut ties with Israel in its ongoing war in Gaza.However, the U of T went on to say that if protesters activities remained peaceful, it didn't intend to remove them.

Prior to their statement Thursday, University of Toronto leadership provided a separate note to protesters saying while it respects members rights to protest, unauthorized activities like encampments"are considered trespassing." This encampment is one of many in Canada, as pro-Palestinian activists have also set up tents at McGill University in Montreal, the University of Ottawa and the University of British Columbia campus in Vancouver.
