(VIDEO) Protestul studentilor a cuprins si Canada

Studenti construiesc tabere pro-palestiniene si in unele dintre cele mai mari universitati din Canada.

Studentii au infiintat tabere in unitati de invatamant canadiene, inclusiv Universitatea din Toronto, Universitatea din Columbia Britanica si Universitatea din Ottawa.

Joi dimineata, studentii de la Universitatea din Toronto si-au infiintat o tabara intr-un spatiu din campusul scolii, unde aproximativ 100 de protestatari s-au adunat cu zeci de corturi.

Potrivit unui comunicat al organizatorilor, tabara va ramane pana cand universitatea isi va dezvalui investitiile, se va renunta la orice sustine ceea ce ei numesc "apartheid-ul israelian, ocupatia si colonizarea ilegala a Palestinei" si va pune capat parteneriatelor cu unele institutii academice israeliene.

Un purtator de cuvant al universitatii a declarat pentru Reuters ca este ,,in dialog cu protestatarii" si ca tabara ,,nu perturba activitatile universitare curente".

Premierul din Quebec, Francois Legault, a declarat joi ca tabara de la Universitatea McGill din Montreal ar trebui desfiintata, dar fortele de ordine nu au intervenit joi pentru a desfiinta tabara si au transmis joi seara ca monitorizeaza situatia.

A existat o contramanifestatie pro-Israel la Montreal joi. Cele doua grupuei au fost tinute separate.

„Our university is taking our tuition money without our consent and investing it in companies that contribute to the suffering of Palestinians.”

Pro-genocide forces failed today in their bid to disrupt McGill's encampment against the holocaust in Gaza. About 400 turned out but a substantially larger crowd came out to defend the camp & the genocide backers failed to instigate a confrontation. The camp grows stronger by day pic.twitter.com/h4uQiSem4I

In SUA, peste 200 de persoane au fost arestate dupa ce nu au respectat ordinul de a se dispersa din tabara ilegala, in prezent desfiintata, din campusul Universitatii din California, Los Angeles, a declarat cancelarul UCLA, Gene Block, intr-un comunicat. Block s-a referit la tabara ca la o ,,perturbare uriasa".
