VANCOUVER — Anti-Israel protesters who set up an encampment at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo, B.C., have been told to pack up within 72 hours.

The B.C. Civil Liberties Association says a judge in Vancouver granted an injunction ordering the encampment removed on Thursday, and that no further camps be established in the same area for 150 days.

The university went to court against the protest following an Ontario court decision that granted the University of Toronto an injunction against an encampment there.
