PNN – French prosecutors announced that the country’s police have arrested 86 people at the Sorbonne University in continuing to confront the students protesting the war in Gaza.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, AFP quoted the statement of the country’s prosecutors and wrote that these students were arrested for disturbing public order.
The French police have claimed that they arrested these people for reasons such as intentional harm, rioting, violence against authorities, attacking an educational institution and holding a meeting with the aim of disrupting public order and collaborating with a group whose purpose was violence or damage to public property.
According to AFP, these people may be detained for 24 hours, which can be extended for another 24 hours.
The day before the arrests, French Prime Minister Gabriel Ethel said that no one has the right to disrupt the order of the country’s universities with these protests.
The police intervened after 100 students sat in the lecture hall for two hours to “express solidarity” with the people of Gaza.
Seven months have passed since the beginning of the conflicts in the Gaza Strip and the unprecedented killing of Palestinians by the forces of the Zionist regime. During this period, along with all the expressions of concern, condemnation, support for Palestine and protests in different countries of the world against the Zionist regime’s genocide in Gaza, this time the scope of these protests was extended to the universities of the world.
French universities, along with American, Canadian, Dutch, Swiss, English and other countries, have become the scene of anti-Israel demonstrations.
The protesting students have demanded various demands, including the termination of cooperation with companies and universities of the Zionist regime.
