All tents at a pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Toronto appear to have been taken down ahead of a 6 p.m. deadline to clear the site.

CP24's Steve Ryan, reporting from the scene, says there were "zero" tents on King's College Circle as of 4 p.m., two hours before the deadline that had been given to protesters to vacate the site.The Toronto Police Service has been urging protesters at the encampment to leave voluntarily "to avoid police action" as the force indicated it would enforce the court's order.

The court ordered that police would be authorized to arrest and remove those who do not leave the encampment after the deadline."Refusing to leave disobeys a court order and obstructs police in their duty to enforce," TPS said in another statement posted on social media. "Both are criminal offences."

In a subsequent statement, the group said they would provide their plans for the evening at a 5 p.m. press conference.
