A Quebec court has denied McGill University’s request for an injunction to remove the pro-Palestinian encampment that has been in place on its downtown Montreal campus for nearly a month.

Quebec Superior Court Justice Marc St-Pierre ruled this week that the school failed to prove the situation at the encampment was urgent enough to justify such an order. He suggested McGill modify its request and re-file it with the court by May 25.
