McGill drops injunction case against pro-Palestinian camp after dismantling site

MONTREAL — McGill University has withdrawn its injunction request against a pro-Palestinian encampment, a little more than two weeks after the school removed the collection of tents from its campus.

All parties were due at the Montreal courthouse today for a hearing, but none of the lawyers showed.

Later, lawyers for McGill and some of the protest groups confirmed the university had dropped the injunction request.

On July 10, the university hired a private security firm to dismantle the encampment that had been in place on the school’s lower field since late April.
