Two students at the Montreal university had asked the court to order protesters to move at least 100 metres from school buildings, saying their presence had created an environment of aggression
Pro-Palestinian activists who have pitched their tents on the McGill University campus scored a legal victory on Wednesday when a Quebec judge rejected a request for an injunction to stop their protest.
She also took into account statements from the protesters that argued that such an order would have a “chilling effect” on their rights to free speech. In the injunction request heard Tuesday, the students submitted evidence of slogans such as “Intifada,” “From the sea to the river, Palestine will live forever,” and “all Zionists are terrorists” being chanted or printed on banners as examples of the “hostile, aggressive and violent” atmosphere created by the protesters.
