HALIFAX – Pro-Palestinian demonstrators briefly occupied a building at Halifax’s Dalhousie University on Monday, as their encampment that had been on the school’s downtown campus since May was dismantled by staff and security.
By Monday afternoon, the encampment that had been on the Studley Quad since May was no more, just as similar protest camps have been removed in recent weeks on campuses across the country.
