Officers repeatedly told campus protesters they were breaching university policy and provincial trespassing laws, issuing a final warning just after 4:30 a.m. and then escorting demonstrators from the north campus quad

Edmonton police say they cleared a pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Alberta early Saturday morning.

The move by authorities comes after a camp began to form on Thursday, mushrooming to about 40 tents the next day as protesters called on the university for divestment from Israeli institutions.
