NANAIMO, B.C. — Vancouver Island University says it has"regrettably" launched legal action against pro-Palestinian protesters, who it says ignored a trespass notice and a deadline to leave their encampment at the campus in Nanaimo, B.C.
The university says the encampment's"continued presence" left them disappointed and forced them to take action to ensure the safety and well-being of the campus community. The protesters urged supporters to phone various university numbers, including those for the president's office, to complain about"the lack of care and respect" that they say an injunction or police action would show.
