TORONTO — Pro-Palestinian protesters who have camped out on the University of Toronto's downtown campus for two months said Wednesday they would comply with a court-ordered deadline to pack up their belongings and clear the site.
An Ontario judge issued an order Tuesday for the protesters to take down the encampment that was set up at King's College Circle two months ago and at one point included as many as 177 tents. The protesters set up camp on May 2 and previously said they would stay put until the school agrees to their demands, which include disclosing and divesting from investments in companies profiting from Israel's offensive in Gaza.
“As passionate as we may be about alleviating human suffering around the world, depriving our fellow residents of green space accomplishes nothing,” the judge wrote.
