Summary
Nine activists are suing the University of Calgary, Calgary police, and the city over the dispersal of a pro-Palestinian protest on campus, alleging excessive force and charter rights violations. The protesters had set up an encampment to protest the universitys ties to companies linked to Israels actions in Gaza. The suit claims police used batons, pepper spray, and stun grenades, causing injuries and disputing police accounts of warnings and bottle-throwing. The university and police maintain their actions were justified, and the case highlights tensions around campus protests and police tactics.
