More than 50 students staging sit-in and hunger strike at the university leave campus without incident.
French police officers entered the Sciences Po university in Paris and removed pro-Palestinian student activists who had occupied its buildings to protest Israel’s war on Gaza.
Reporting from the French capital, Al Jazeera’s Natacha Butler said that police on Friday “moved in” into one of the buildings and removed more than 50 students who were staging a sit-in and a hunger strike.
“They [students] have filtered out slowly. They were allowed to leave the scene. It seems that it had gone off peacefully,” she said.
James, a student at the university, told Al Jazeera that earlier on Friday, the school administrator held another round of talks with protesters, but negotiations to move the protest elsewhere on campus broke down.
“There were no assurances given that there wouldn’t be a police intervention after people leave the rooms,” he said.
