An Ontario court has granted an injunction to the University of Toronto to clear a pro-Palestinian encampment on school property.A drone image of the pro-Palestinian protest encampment at University of Toronto's King's College Circle is shown here on Friday, May 31. An Ontario court has granted an injunction to the University of Toronto to clear a pro-Palestinian encampment on school property.
U of T Occupy for Palestine, the organizers of the encampment, said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that the decision means that the school has been granted the "immoral license to unleash police violence" on students. "We trust that those in the encampment will abide by the court order and vacate the encampment before the court-imposed deadline. Anyone who chooses to remain in the encampment after that deadline will be subject to consequences under university policy and the law," a spokesperson for the school said.
Israel launched its attack after Hamas led a surprise assault on southern Israel on Oct. 7, which left roughly 1,200 dead and saw around 250 people taken hostage. Israel's offensive has left 37,000 dead in Gaza, according to Palestinian tallies.
