HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS PROTEST AGAINST CONCORDIA’S POSITION WITHIN THE ISRAEL-PALESTINE WAR The protest was notably marked by actions reminiscent of the Nazi party from one protester. BY FÉLIX-ANTOINE BEAUCHEMIN // NEWS EDITOR @fa.beauchemin.journalisme Over 10,000 students from 12 student associations at Concordia University were on strike last week, and hundreds of students gathered outside the Hall Building on Nov. 21 in solidarity with Palestine and other student strike demands. Shortly after 2 p.m., the protesters broke into the Hall
Building and then made their way up and down the 12 floors of the Hall Building. Some people graffitied “Free Gaza” and other messages in solidarity with Palestine or criticizing Concordia inside and on the outside of the building, notably on the sixth floor of the escalators. According to the Service
de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) media relations officer Mariane Allaire Morin, the police have opened an investigation for mischief based on the graffiti inside the building. The SPVM also opened an investigation into alleged assaults on two Campus Safety & Prevention Services (CSPS)
security guards, Allaire Morin confirmed. She said that the security guards did not sustain major injuries. No arrest has been made in either case.
