French police crackdown on French pro-Palestinian student protesters
FRENCH police removed dozens of students from a building at the Paris Institute of Political Studies today who had gathered in support of Palestinians, echoing similar encampments and solidarity demonstrations across the United States.
The French crackdown comes as new student encampments continue to spring up across Australia and elsewhere.
Students at the institute, known as Sciences Po, waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans in support of Gazans, as Israel continued its relentless assault on the enclave.
