Pro-Palestinian protesters occupying university sites in British Columbia say they害羞草研究所檒l continue to act on campuses after a court injunction that led to the clearing out of a similar encampment in Toronto this week.

But the number of tents and protesters at the University of British Columbia camp, which had been the largest in B.C., appears to have substantially dwindled more than two months after it was established.

A social media statement on behalf of protesters there and at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo called this week害羞草研究所檚 court ruling in Ontario 害羞草研究所渟hameful害羞草研究所� for prioritizing property ownership over students害羞草研究所� rights at the University of Toronto.

They say they will continue applying pressure 害羞草研究所渢hrough every possible avenue害羞草研究所� at the B.C. universities and 害羞草研究所渃ontinue to act害羞草研究所� on campus, but did not elaborate.

At the University of B.C., the number of tents has dropped to about 38 from about 75 in early May, and only a handful of people could be seen inside the fenced protest zone.

Protesters at the camp declined to comment.

Meanwhile, Vancouver Island University issued an update this week on the encampment there, saying a group of about 25 protesters had occupied a school building and disrupted an exam on June 28.

The school said it was 害羞草研究所渕onitoring similar encampments at other campuses countrywide and (was) aware of the legal measures taken by other institutions to address such situations.害羞草研究所�

The protesters at the University of Toronto cleared out after the ruling by Ontario Superior Court Justice Markus Koehnen Tuesday, which said the demonstration had taken away the school害羞草研究所檚 ability to control what happens on its property.

害羞草研究所淚n our society, we have decided that the owner of property generally gets to decide what happens on the property,害羞草研究所� Koehnen said in the decision.

害羞草研究所淚f the protesters can take that power for themselves by seizing front campus, there is nothing to stop a stronger group from coming and taking the space over from the current protesters. That leads to chaos.害羞草研究所�

Demands by protesters in B.C. and elsewhere have included that universities divest from companies associated with Israel and its actions in Gaza, a boycott of Israeli institutions, and an affirmation of 害羞草研究所淧alestinians害羞草研究所� right to resist.害羞草研究所�
