No apparent move against ongoing protest encampment that has occupied a campus field
Police cleared pro-Palestinian protesters from a main intersection at the University of British Columbia campus in Vancouver on Wednesday.
Video posted shortly after 11 a.m. by an account associated with the protests had showed dozens of uniformed officers walking down the main route. A voice over a loudspeaker tells protesters: “This is the RCMP. You need to clear the area immediately or you will be under arrest.” After police cleared the road, a few dozen protesters marched across campus from the Rose Garden near where graduation ceremonies were taking place to McInnes Field, where protesters have been encamped since April 29.
Protest organizers issued a statement saying the intersection was blocked by an “autonomous coalition” of protesters.
