French police forces dragged dozens of students out of France's Sciences Po University in Paris, as they had staged a sit-in across several buildings on campus in protest of the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Student protests have been escalating and expanding over the past few weeks in the Americas and across several European countries in support of occupied Palestine and Gaza.

Sciences Po is one of France's elite political science schools, known for its notable alumni such as President Emmanuel Macron. Protests in the university erupted last week, calling for an immediate halt to the Israeli war on Gaza and the cessation of academic collaborations with the occupation entity.

23 pro-Palestine university protests dismantled in France

A student body committee of pro-Palestinian students announced on Thursday a "peaceful sit-in" inside university buildings, and that six students were starting a hunger strike "in solidarity with Palestinian victims."

At least 23 pro-Palestine university protests across France have been forcibly dismantled since Thursday, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal's office said, adding that such protests would be dealt with using "total rigor".

The French government said that requests to disperse demonstrations "were made by university presidents, and law enforcement intervened immediately."

Describing the policy on how the anti-genocide protests will be handled, Attal emphasized that "firmness was and will remain [comprehensive]."

Despite the crackdown, thousands of students and activists rallied in the Place du Panthéon, chanting slogans in support of Gaza and Palestine and calling for the genocide to end. 

In one of the chants, the crowds described the Israelis as "murderers" and that French President Emmanuel Macron was an accomplice to the occupation's crimes against the Palestinian people.
