French Police Use Pepper Gas on Pro-Palestinian Students – Breaking International News
Two activists staged a protest in front of Sorbonne University by lying down on the road to resist being taken away by police. The student, Yasmine, expressed her outrage over what she described as a “genocide” in Gaza and accused universities of being complicit in such atrocities.
Yasmine pointed to Sorbonne University’s collaboration with Israeli universities as contributing to the arming of Israel and the occupation of Palestinian lands. She believes that by partnering with institutions that support such actions, universities are indirectly supporting violence and oppression.
The demonstration highlights the growing concern and activism surrounding the conflict in Gaza and the role that educational institutions play in either perpetuating or challenging injustices. As calls for solidarity with Palestine continue to increase, it is clear that students like Yasmine are demanding accountability and action from their universities in addressing these pressing issues.
