TMU students are calling for the termination of security officers involved in the violent arrest of a student protester.

The security officers involved, contracted by a third-party security organization, have been reassigned and will not return to campus duties pending the outcome of the review,” Zolfaghari said.

Zolfaghari said the school is still working to confirm the facts of what occurred, and says Toronto police were called following the arrest and it is now a police matter.

TMU’s student union also released a statement condemning the actions taken by the guards in the video, and says that it is requesting a full investigation into the matter.
