The police intervened on Friday May 3 at Sciences Po Paris and Lyon to evacuate pro-Palestinian activists. Other policy studies institutes were blocked throughout the day.
Sciences Po Paris students were evacuated by the police on Friday May 3. The university is closed for the day, and employees have been asked to remain teleworking. The response is considered disproportionate and security-related by the Sciences Po Palestine committee. “The student community will remain strong and mobilized for Palestine until our demands are heard”said a representative.

In Lyon (Rhône), the site is closed and classes are suspended. The demonstrators were also evacuated by the police. Thursday evening, the head of the LFI deputies, Mathilde Panot, came to support the demonstrators.
