A Quebec Superior Court judge has rejected a provisional injunction request that would have forced protesters at the pro-Palestinian encampment on McGill University’s downtown campus to leave.

Protesters have been on campus since Saturday afternoon, saying they are determined to stay put until the university divests from companies with business interests in Israel.

Two McGill students, Raihaana Adira and Gabriel Medvedovsky, filed the request on Tuesday to have a judge forbid protests within 100 metres of McGill’s buildings.

The request named five pro-Palestinian groups: Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights McGill, Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights Concordia, Montréal4Palestine, Palestinian Youth Movement Montréal and Alliance4Palestine.QC

None of the allegations have been proven in court.
