The protesters held up signs with messages such as “McGill funds genocide.”
An encampment on McGill University’s downtown campus in support of Palestinians in Gaza was still going strong on Sunday.
Several tents went up after 1:30 p.m. Saturday. A ring of more than 100 young people formed around the encampment as they chanted slogans like “Palestine will live forever.”
The protesters also held up signs with messages like “McGill funds genocide.”
The protest was peaceful and within sight of several police vehicles parked near the Roddick Gates on Sherbrooke St.
A person who declined to give her name described herself as a volunteer for the protest and said the protesters had been in talks with the university, but the administration asked them not to put up the tents. She also said they planned to be there “indefinitely.” (more...)
