TORONTO — Lawyers for a pro-Palestinian protest encampment at the University of Toronto say the site is “closer in character to a public park' than private property and people do not normally need permission to use it.
TORONTO — Lawyers for a pro-Palestinian protest encampment at the University of Toronto say the site is “closer in character to a public park" than private property and people do not normally need permission to use it.
They said many in the community have reported feeling unsafe or unwelcome on campus as a result of the protest, and that the encampment has caused irreparable harm. While there is no doubt the university received complaints about the use of certain protest slogans and symbols, those complaints are false and inflammatory misrepresentations, and it's the university's duty to counter such messages rather than amplifying them through this injunction application, Esmonde argued.
