McGill granted 10-day injunction against pro-Palestinian student group

The Québec Superior Court has granted McGill University a 10-day injunction restricting the activities of a student group called the Students for Palestine’s Honour and Resistance. The provisional injunction prohibits members of the group —as well as anyone aware of the ruling—from staging protests within five metres of McGill property, obstructing access to university buildings, or intimidating students and staff. McGill sought the injunction following the group’s involvement in a three-day student protest in early April, which included incidents of vandalism and classroom disruption. In a message to staff and students, McGill President Deep Saini said that the injunction was especially necessary at this time as exams are underway.
