WATCH: The University of Toronto presented its case in Ontario Superior Court for an injunction to end a pro-Palestinian encampment at its main campus. As Sean O’Shea reports, a lawyer for the institution said the university supports free speech but not one that makes those with differing opinions feel uncomfortable.
They said many in the community have reported feeling unsafe or unwelcome on campus as a result of the protest, and that the encampment has caused irreparable harm.In documents filed earlier this week, lawyers for the protesters say the school’s claims of irreparable harm are based on mischaracterizations of the encampment as violent and antisemitic.
The school is asking the court to authorize police action to remove protesters who refuse to leave, and to bar protesters from blocking access to university property or setting up fences, tents or other structures on campus.
