PARIS, 05 May. - (ANA) - Police moved in to clear dozens of protesters who had camped out in a courtyard at Sorbonne University in Paris on Monday 29 April to demand an end to Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, reports France24.

 

About 100 demonstrators took part in the protest near the prestigious university, waving a giant Palestinian flag and chanting slogans in support of Palestinians in Gaza. The demonstration took place three days after protests at the French capital’s elite Sciences Po university and as pro-Palestinian rallies sweep college campuses across the United States.

 

“There were around 50 of us when the police came running into the courtyard,” said Rémi, a 20-year-old student who took part in the Sorbonne protest. “The evacuation was quite brutal, with around 10 people being dragged to the ground, but no arrests were made,” he added.
