Liberation Zone demonstrations continue on UWindsor campus

Dozens of Palestinian Solidarity Group supporters at the University of Windsor continued their protest Friday afternoon.

The group set up a "Liberation Zone" on campus Thursday afternoon and returned Friday for a second day of demonstrations.

University Of Windsor President Robert Gordon says they are committed to supporting the peaceful protest.

"Our commitment is around supporting free expression and protests like this are one way at which we do that as an institution. We are committed to supporting the safety of our entire university campus and certainly, we pay close attention to protests as they evolve to make sure we are adhering to those commitments as well," said Gordon.

The group is demanding the university disclose all institutional expenditures, divest from companies doing business with the Israeli military and declare its opposition to the Israeli occupation in the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.

They chanted "Not another nickel, not another dime no more money for Israel's crimes" and "Disclose, divest, we will not stop, we will not rest" as they marched through the university's buildings Friday afternoon.

"We certainly are well aware that our student government, the undergraduate student government UWSA has supported a number of motions. We have yet to receive those letters to our Board of Governors and our university senate," said Gordon. "Once we receive whatever those motions are and the hope that those motions put forward we will evaluate them."
