Those taking part “stand in solidarity with those steadfastly resisting in Palestine.”
Students at the University of Victoria say they have established a Palestine “solidarity encampment” on campus.
The statement included a demand that the university divest from corporations supporting Israel, cut academic ties in Israel and “condemn the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.” The statement also calls for no charges or academic penalties be directed to students of faculty involved in the protest, and says police should be kept off campus.
The encampments, the first of which was ereceted on Saturday, follow a wave of similar protests on campuses across the United States linked to the Israel-Hamas war.
