Montreal police deployed tear gas to disperse pro-Palestinian protesters gathered at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, on June 6.
Police initially formed a barricade on the street below, but as the protest grew and spread to the campus square, more officers in riot gear were deployed.
An hour into the protest, police entered the administration building, where demonstrators had barricaded themselves. They closed the windows and removed the protesters' materials.
Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR) McGill released a detailed statement on Telegram, criticizing the university for rejecting their demands to divest from companies linked to Israel.
"Students have barricaded themselves inside to reclaim the university, which continues to fund and support the genocide of the Palestinian people," the statement read.
"As Zionist forces advance into Rafah, committing atrocities, McGill administrators shamelessly maintain their financial and academic connections."
Reuters was able to confirm the location of the video from building layout, trees, positioning of lamp posts and garden which matched file and satellite imagery of the McGill University campus. Reuters was able to confirm the date of the videos from the original file metadata.
