As protests continue in the province of Quebec against planned tuition hikes, a court of appeals has rejected students’ request for the suspension of parts of a controversial law that was passed to impede their protest rallies.
University students protest Special Law 78 and the potential tuition fee increases in Montreal, June 3, 2012.
The decision came on Monday after a lower court rejected the petition submitted by the students, which had called for the suspension of two provisions of the law, passed in May in the wake of clashes between the police and the students protesting a potential 82-percent hike in tuition fees in the French-speaking province.
The so-called Special Law 78 obliges the organizers to inform the police about the timing and location of marches at least eight hours before they stage the protest move. It also allows imposing heavy fines on the protesters who fail to do so.
