STORYLINE:

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators who have been camped out at the University of Toronto, Canada, for 25 days held a solidarity rally on Monday.
   
University officials issued a trespass notice on Friday, ordering demonstrators to remove the encampment by 8 a.m. Monday. But the student-led demonstrators said they would not leave until their demands were met.

"The university has made it clear. They want to clear this encampment. They have issued us a trespass notice and now an injunction, and the reason for this is because the people's strength is threatening to them."

Organizers called on the university to cut its ties with Israel, divest from companies profiting from Israel's offensive in Gaza, and terminate partnerships with the country's academic institutions deemed complicit in the war.
