Nine pro-Palestinian activists have filed a lawsuit over the police response to a protest and encampment at the University of Calgary in May 2024. According to reporting, police were called to break up the protest and the encampment on campus, and the activists are challenging the circumstances and enforcement actions that followed. The lawsuit names Calgary police and the University of Calgary, along with the City of Calgary, as defendants. The plaintiffs allege that the removal and related arrests violated their rights under Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The complaint centers on the claim that the authorities’ conduct during the dispersal and arrest process did not comply with constitutional protections. Both outlets describe the case as being launched by the nine activists after the May 2024 events, with the allegations focused on how the removal was carried out rather than on the underlying political message of the protest. The defendants have not been described in these reports as agreeing with the claims, and the matter is now before the courts.
