French police evacuate pro-Palestinian students from Sciences Po after overnight sit-in

Police in Paris entered France’s prestigious Sciences Po university and removed student activists who had occupied its buildings overnight in protest against Israel’s conduct in its conflict in Gaza, Reuters reports.

A Reuters witness saw police go into the buildings and take out many of the 70-odd pro-Palestinian protesters inside. Unlike on some college campuses across the United States, the French protests have been peaceful and there were no signs of violence as the students were brought out of the buildings.
