A judge has granted Université du Québec à Montréal a partial injunction against pro-Palestinian protesters who set up an encampment on its downtown campus earlier this month.

Superior Court Justice Louis J. Gouin ruled on May 27 that safety measures need to be put in place at the encampment, and that doing so won’t infringe on the encampment members’ right to protest.
