NANAIMO, B.C. — A months-long pro-Palestinian encampment at Vancouver Island University has been dismantled following a court order, but protesters suggest more demonstrations could be on the way.
The court ordered that no further encampments be established within the same specific area for 150 days. The protester said in the video statement that the site of the encampment, near the university's library and main cafeteria, had become a place of gathering for the community to raise awareness. Similar protest encampments in B.C. were vacated this summer at the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia.
