Quebec premier says police should dismantle pro-Palestinian student camp

François Legault advocates removal of week-long demonstration at Montreal’s McGill University: ‘The encampment is illegal’

Quebec’s premier has said police should begin dismantling an “illegal” week-long pro-Palestinian encampment at Montreal’s McGill University, as students at Canada’s largest universities ramp up demands that the schools sever relationships with groups linked to Israel.

“The encampment is illegal,” François Legault told reporters. “The law must be respected, so I expect the police to dismantle these illegal campsites, which is what McGill has requested.”
