French Police Remove Student Activists From Sciences Po University Amid Protests Over Gaza Conflict

In Paris, Police yesterday entered France’s prestigious Sciences Po university and removed student activists who had occupied its buildings in protest against Israel’s conduct in its war against Hamas in Gaza.

Sciences Po University has become the epicentre of French student protests over the ongoing war and academic ties with Israel, which have spread across



France.

The University was closed on Friday, with a heavy police presence around its main buildings.

Unlike in some college campuses across the United States, French protests have been peaceful and there were no signs of violence as some 70 students were brought out of the buildings by the French police.
