There is a pro-Palestinian encampment at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

A group called Students for the Liberation of Palestine- Kjipuktuk (Halifax) say on Instagram that they are a coalition of students from Dalhousie, St. Mary’s University, Kings College and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.

They are occupying the space in front of the Studley Quad.

The groups say they “call on our universities to immediately disclose and divest” from investments they have made to companies tied to Israel.

This follows other encampments across North America in recent weeks.

In an email to our newsroom a spokesperson from Dalhousie says they are aware of the encampment and are working on a statement.
