A pro-Palestinian encampment located at Vancouver Island University has been dismantled after standing for more than three months. In a statement issued Sunday evening, VIU said that it had hired a security firm to assist with dismantling the encampment and fencing the area. This clearing occurred shortly after the BC Supreme Court granted VIU an injunction ordering the removal of the encampment. According to the Canadian Press, protesters have since expressed their disappointment over the university’s actions and said that they will continue to demonstrate in other ways.
