French police peacefully remove pro-Palestinian students occupying a university building in Paris

Associated Press  

PARIS — French police on Friday peacefully removed dozens of students from the prestigious Sciences Po university who had gathered in support of Palestinians, echoing similar encampments and solidarity demonstrations across the United States. The intervention came after police dislodged students at 23 French campuses on Thursday because of pro-Palestinian demonstrations, according to the prime minister’s office. Students chanting “Set Gaza free, set Palestine free” held a protest later Friday in front of the Pantheon monument, near the elite Sorbonne University, to call for an end to Israel’s offensive in Gaza. Attal’s office said police had been asked to remove students from 23 sites on French campuses on Thursday and “all were evacuated within a few hours.” A police presence will be maintained near Sciences Po to prevent any further blockades, it said in a statement.
