Students from universities across Paris are expected to rally Friday afternoon in support of Palestinian people in Gaza. The protest is scheduled to be held outside the Pantheon, a French national Monument in a district housing some of Paris’ most prestigious universities, including the Sorbonne.
Dozens of students started a sit-in inside Paris’ Sciences Po late Thursday, prompting the university to close its Paris campus Friday, according to a school spokesman. Paris riot police are expected to evacuate the university in the coming hours.
