At the University of Toronto, student protesters continue to occupy King’s College Circle. They have been camping there since May 2 to draw attention to the atrocities of the war in Gaza. University administrators have recently served a trespass notice to student groups and sought a court injunction to authorize police to apply the notice and arrest protesters. According to the Toronto Star, the University of Toronto hearing dates for the injunction against the encampment are set for June 19 and 20.
Students in the encampment remain adamant in their demands that the university divest from assets that “sustain Israeli apartheid” and cut ties with Israeli academic institutions operating on occupied Palestinian land. Many are now watching to see how the university communicates with the student protesters.
Similar situations are playing out across North America as student protesters demand their universities divest from financial ties to Israel or companies supporting Israeli weapons and technology.
