Police officers unblocked access to Sciences Po Paris this morning (Wednesday) as demonstrators had blocked access to the establishment in support of the Palestinian people, using bicycles, scooters and piles of garbage.

A Palestinian flag was also displayed in front of the entrance to the school located on rue Saint-Guillaume.

"We cannot remain silent in the face of the atrocities committed in Gaza," a representative of the Palestine committee at Sciences Po, who preferred to remain anonymous, said through a megaphone.

The railings of a school window were covered with a banner reading: "No forgetting, no forgiveness".

The evacuation was peaceful. Another mobilization is planned this Wednesday in Paris on the Place de la Sorbonne at 6 p.m. Paris time.
