Paris Police Remove Pro-Palestinian Students Occupying Sciences Po University

These protests aren't just happening in the U.S.

On Friday, police in Paris 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.

A Reuters witness saw police go into the buildings and take out many of the 70-odd protesters inside. Unlike in some college campuses across the United States, the French protests have been peaceful and there were no signs of violence as the students were brought out of the buildings.

Sciences Po has become the epicentre of French student protests over the war and academic ties with Israel, which have spread across France but have remained much smaller in scale than those seen in the United States.
