UofT encampment: Pro-Palestinian protesters leave campus before court-ordered deadline

Pro-Palestinian protesters who have camped out on the University of Toronto’s (UofT) downtown campus for two months have complied with a court-ordered deadline to pack up their belongings and clear the site on Wednesday.

Organizers announced their decision about an hour before the 6 p.m. deadline, then carried on with a rally that brought a large crowd to the area in a show of support. Mohammad Yassin said the group decided to leave earlier than required to avoid a possible confrontation with police.

“We are leaving on our terms to protect our community,” he said in front of a crowd. “Our continued occupation through the summer convocation period was a massive victory.”
