Pro-Palestinian protesters set up encampment on University of Toronto campus

Pro-Palestinian protesters set up encampment on University of Toronto campus

A number of pro-Palestinian protesters breached a fenced area and set up an encampment on the University of Toronto campus early Thursday, vowing to stay there until their demands are met.

A number of pro-Palestinian protesters breached a fenced area and set up an encampment on the University of Toronto campus early Thursday, vowing to stay there until their demands are met.

The protesters moved in at around 4 a.m. and set up a few dozen tents on the lawn at King’s College Circle.

The university had erected fencing to prevent an encampment there but the protesters got around it. Several police vehicles quickly arrived on scene but there have been no clashes so far.

The protesters are calling for the university to divest from companies with military ties to Israel and cut ties with some Israeli universities.

"So we've seen a recent wave of encampments go up across the U.S. and now in Canada," one protester told CP24. "We were inspired by the Columbia (University) encampment, which just ended two days ago. We wanted to ride this wave, now that there's finally a lot of energy."

Another said they want to send a message to the university.

"Our message to the University of Toronto is that we want them to divest, we want them to be transparent with their finances, and we want them to cut academic ties with Israeli universities on occupied territories,” they told CP24.
