Pro-Palestinian Protests,University Of Toronto,Canada

The University of Toronto's request for a court order to clear a pro-Palestinian encampment on its downtown campus is expected to be heard in three weeks.

request for a court order to clear a pro-Palestinian encampment on its downtown campus is expected to be heard in three weeks.

The judge acknowledges in a court filing that those dates “do not accommodate” the university’s interest in resolving the issue before convocation ceremonies begin in early June but he says a fair opportunity must be given to the respondents to make their case. The university is arguing that the encampment prevents others from accessing and enjoying school property, poses health and safety risks and has prompted numerous reports of harassment, hateful speech and violence – claims denied by protest organizers.The protesters are challenging the injunction request and have refused to leave the site, ignoring a trespass notice issued last week.

The school says the injunction is necessary “to restore the university’s ability to preserve the space as an open, free and public atmosphere for respectful discourse and debate.”
