Students have staged a protest in support of Palestine near the prestigious Sorbonne
00:07
University in Paris.
00:10
Taking their cue from the university campus protest movement across the United States,
00:16
students in Paris chanted slogans in support of the Palestinians living in Gaza.
00:21
I`m inspired by the students in Columbia, in Harvard and in MIT, et cetera, that are
00:29
very strong and that are saying that they want to fight for justice and for the peace
00:35
in Palestine, but also for the liberation of the Palestine. And I`m proud of them even
00:40
though they are very repressed and we see that the police is trying to kill the movement
00:46
by arresting a lot of people.
00:51
Last week, protests broke out at the Paris Institute of Political Studies. Students blocked
00:58
access to a campus building, prompting administrators to move all classes online. Pro-Palestinian
01:05
and pro-Israeli groups then faced off, prompting riot police to step in to separate them.
01:12
Meanwhile, students at Columbia University in New York have defied the deadline set by
01:17
officials to break up their encampment and end their protests or face suspension.
01:24
The university`s president said on Monday the talks with protest organizers had failed.
01:31
We will not be moved by this intimidation tactics. You can see outside you now that
01:37
the students are mobilized. There`s hundreds of them here today. They will not be moved.
01:44
We demand divestment. We will not be moved unless by force.
01:50
The campus protest movement ignited at Columbia two weeks ago when police tried to break up
01:55
a small group of protesters who had pitched tents. That sparked a wave of solidarity protests
02:02
across America, with similar demonstrations taking place on campuses in at least 22 states.
