The decision, issued Tuesday, says that protesters will have until 6 p.m. on July 3 to clear the encampment

A drone view of the pro-Palestinian encampment after a convocation ceremony at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, June 3, 2024.The University of Toronto has been granted an injunction against a pro-Palestinian encampment, clearing the way for what the university hopes is an orderly end to a two-month long demonstration that occupied part of its campus.

“We trust that those in the encampment will abide by the court order and vacate the encampment before the court-imposed deadline. Anyone who chooses to remain in the encampment after that deadline will be subject to consequences under university policy and the law,” the University of Toronto said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.

The encampment began on May 2, when protesters broke through a fence the university had erected around the green space at the heart of King’s College Circle. The fence was intended to dissuade a protest from forming after a wave of pro-Palestinian encampments swept across university campuses in the U.S. and other parts of Canada in late April.
