MONTREAL — Quebec City police say they have forced protesters to dismantle a pro-Palestinian encampment that was being set up on the grounds of Université Laval.
They say officers explained that the camp violates a municipal bylaw prohibiting people from setting up tents and other structures on public property without permission. "We saw this as a way to not let us exercise our right to demonstrate on campus, even though we were doing it in a completely peaceful way, toward a genocide that is happening on the other side of the ocean," he said in an interview on Sunday.
Pro-Palestinian encampments have been set up on several Canadian university campuses in recent weeks, following a wave of similar protests in the United States.
