Occupy Victoria expects police to swoop in and tear down the Centennial Square protest camp Tuesday night, hours after protesters fear the B.C. Supreme Court will grant the city a temporary injunction allowing it to dismantle the 30- to 40-tent camp.

B次元官网网址淕etting a temporary injunction isnB次元官网网址檛 that difficult,B次元官网网址� said Anushka Nagji, a protest camp spokesperson and University of Victoria law student. B次元官网网址淐hances are it is going to be granted.B次元官网网址�

Nagji said as of Wednesday B次元官网网址� a day after Victoria applied for the injunction that will be heard Nov. 15 B次元官网网址� Occupy Victoria hadnB次元官网网址檛 yet decided whether to ask for time to make a legal case against the injunction or simply let the court make a speedy uncontested decision.

Nagji doesnB次元官网网址檛 expect any violence from her side if police remove the Occupy Victoria camp, although, she admits, thereB次元官网网址檚 a remote possibility a few might put up token resistance.

The B.C. Supreme Court has temporarily postponed granting Vancouver an immediate injunction against Occupy Vancouver so that defence lawyers have a chance prepare a case against it.

The Occupy Victoria protesters were given copies of the cityB次元官网网址檚 injunction application late Nov. 7, one day after notifying them they must remove their tents, leading about one third of the camp to disappear.

But an injunction might not be the end of Occupy Victoria protests.

Nagji last week said the movement is planning a series of B次元官网网址渇lash occupationsB次元官网网址� that can last from a few hours to a couple of days at different locations around the city

The apparent acceptance by Occupy Victoria that the Centennial Square camp is doomed canB次元官网网址檛 come soon enough for downtown businesses, police and civil politicians who claim the movement has been taken over by rogue and criminal elements, including drug dealers.

B次元官网网址淭his is good news,B次元官网网址� said Ken Kelly, the Downtown Victoria Business Association general manager.

B次元官网网址淲e support the cityB次元官网网址檚 action to have them removed.B次元官网网址�

Kelly said Occupy Victoria has lost its way and no longer offers constructive alternatives to ending corporate greed and social inequality.

B次元官网网址淚t is in the interest of our (Victoria) economy that they are removed before Nov. 11 (Remembrance Day) because the day after is the start of the Christmas shopping season.

B次元官网网址淚t is important people perceive the downtown welcome and secure,B次元官网网址� he said.
