Police have successfully halted a pro-Palestinian encampment at Quebec’s City’s Université Laval on Monday morning.
According to authorities, the encampment was set up by a group of pro-Palestinian activists on Sunday evening in support of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. The group had reportedly set up tents and banners on the university’s campus, calling for an end to the violence and showing solidarity with the Palestinian people.
However, the encampment was quickly shut down by police on Monday morning, who cited safety concerns and a lack of proper permits for the demonstration. The officers arrived at the scene around 6:30 a.m. and began dismantling the tents and removing the banners.
The university’s administration had also issued a statement on Sunday, stating that the encampment was not authorized and that the university does not allow any form of political demonstration on its campus.
The pro-Palestinian group, however, argued that their demonstration was peaceful and that they had the right to express their opinions and show support for the Palestinian cause.
This incident comes amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, which has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people, including civilians, in the past week. The conflict has sparked protests and demonstrations around the world, with many calling for an end to the violence and for a peaceful resolution to the long-standing conflict.
The situation at Université Laval has since been resolved, with the encampment being dismantled and the area being cleared by police. The university has also stated that it will be taking measures to prevent any future unauthorized demonstrations on its campus.
This is a developing story and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
