Alex Tyrrell condamne l’utilisation des tribunaux et de la police par l’UQAM pour étouffer les manifestations étudiantes

Le Parti vert du Québec condamne la décision de l’administration de l’UQAM d’avoir recours aux tribunaux,  aux services de police et aux expulsions politiques dans le but d’opprimer l’expression politique de ses étudiants et professeurs.

"The actions taken by the provincial government and the UQAM administration are aimed at systematically oppressing the right of expression of students and professors who oppose austerity and who have voted legitimate strike mandates," explained Alex Tyrrell, leader of the Green Party of Quebec.

"Whether in university halls, rectors' offices or on the streets, recent years have seen a flagrant rollback of the right to dissent, freedom of expression and the right to peaceful assembly," said Catherine Lovatt-Smith, deputy leader of the Green Party of Quebec.

Recall that injunctions, political expulsions and anti-demonstration laws such as P6 have severely oppressed political expression in Quebec since 2012. "We are criminalizing dissent with these injunctions," concluded Mr. Tyrrell.

The Green Party of Quebec condemns the UQAM administration’s decision to go back to court to break the strike.
