The long-standing pro-Palestinian encampment was dismantled at McGill University on Wednesday morning as dozens of Montreal police officers descended on campus and one man was arrested.
McGill president Deep Saini said the university was clearing out the camp in “close collaboration” with the city and police, and through the “engagement of a qualified security firm.”
“This camp was not a peaceful protest,” Saini said in a written statement posted online.
“It was a heavily fortified focal point for intimidation and violence, organized largely by individuals who are not part of our university community.”
