Montreal police said one person was arrested Wednesday as a security firm dismantled a protest camp at McGill University.

Under pounding rain, pro-Palestinian protesters carried their belongings off McGill University’s downtown Montreal campus on Wednesday, as bulldozers and security forces dismantled the encampment that had been on the school’s lower field since late April.

“That was officially the last stand. There’s nobody in the encampment anymore,” said protester Félix Burt, 20, standing a block from McGill’s lower field, where a pile of tents and wooden pallets were what remained of the protest site.
