Swiss police moved in to remove some 50 pro-Palestinian student protesters holed up in a Geneva universitybuilding for nearly a week, AFP reports citing media reports.

About 20 officers entered the UniMail building around 0300 GMT, a journalist from the Keystone-ATS news agency said.

“Most of the students were sleeping. After being gathered they were led to the underground parking garage,” Julie Zaugg, a journalist with LemanbleuTV channel, said on X.

She said they shouted pro-Palestinian slogans before being handcuffed and taken away in vans.
