A person walks past the pro-Palestinian encampment on McGill University campus, in Montreal on May 13, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ryan RemiorzA Quebec Superior Court judge has refused McGill University's request for an injunction to dismantle the pro-Palestinian encampment that has been set up on its downtown Montreal campus since late April.
"The question is important in addition to being complex, so a more in-depth analysis than is normally done in the context a provisional injunction is desirable," he wrote. He said the protesters have become "occupiers" living in a fortified and barricaded mini-village, and that McGill can't fulfil its responsibility to ensure safety on campus because its representatives aren't allowed inside.
St-Pierre noted that the protesters submitted a number of affidavits arguing the camp is not a safety risk, and that McGill's fear of an incident is not reason enough to grant an injunction.
