Jangling the Bells: The Report of the Third-Party Investigation of the Clearing of the Palestinian Solidarity Encampment at the University of Alberta

On 11 May 2024, in the predawn hours, members of the Edmonton Police Service walked onto the campus at the University of Alberta dressed in riot gear to execute the direction of the University of Alberta’s president, Bill Flanagan, that they clear away a Palestinian solidarity encampment that had been set up just two days before.
