Dr. Frances Widdowson was detained and dragged away by RCMP officers at the University of British Columbia on Tuesday amid chaotic scenes that erupted ahead of a planned campus discussion on reconciliation and disputed claims surrounding unverified claims of unmarked graves at former residential school sites.

Video circulated online shows officers carrying Widdowson off campus and placing her into custody. As of publication, police have not publicly clarified whether Widdowson was formally arrested or the specific grounds for her detention.
