A security guard looks on from outside the pro-Palestinian student encampment outside Convocation Hall on the University of Toronto campus, in Toronto, on May 27.Lawyers for the University of Toronto are telling an Ontario court that protesters took control of its property when they set up a pro-Palestinian encampment last month and are preventing others from using it.
The university turned to the court late last month after protesters ignored its deadline to dismantle the encampment In their court filings, the protesters say the school’s claims of irreparable harm are “grounded in troubling mischaracterizations” of the encampment as violent and antisemitic. “Inconveniences to the university and discomfort by those who disagree do not outweigh these vital rights,” they argue in the documents.A number of groups — including the Canadian Association of University Teachers, the Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario and a number of Jewish advocacy groups — have been granted intervener status in the case.
