These evacuations are carried out at the request of the Paris police headquarters. “Given the disturbances to public order, the police headquarters are evacuating public roads and not Sciences Po”specifies the police headquarters to franceinfo.

CRS are present on both sides of the street and evacuate the public highway in clusters of a few dozen demonstrators. The evacuations are taking place peacefully. Pro-Palestinian demonstrators are still sitting on the ground and chanting slogans.

There is currently no evacuation of the Sciences Po premises; some demonstrators are still visible in the windows. This mobilization of pro-Palestinian students has been disrupting the smooth running of the school since Wednesday. Activists mobilizing inside and outside Sciences Po faced pro-Israel demonstrators. A stampede took place between supporters of both camps. The police then positioned themselves to separate the two groups and evacuate the pro-Israeli demonstrators, around 6 p.m.
