An Ontario court is set to hear the University of Toronto's application for an injunction to clear a pro-Palestinian protest encampment today and tomorrow.

A Palestinian flag flies over the pro-Palestinian encampment set up in front of Convocation Hall at the University of Toronto campus, in Toronto, Sunday, May 26, 2024. Toronto police say they will only take action to clear the encampment at the University of Toronto in case of emergency or to carry out a court order.

It is also seeking to prevent protesters from blocking access to university property or setting up fences, tents or other structures on campus. "Inconveniences to the university and discomfort by those who disagree do not outweigh these vital rights," they argue in the documents. Representatives of the encampment, meanwhile, said the university had not been negotiating in good faith, noting the school's president had yet to participate or meet any of the protesters.
