Video. Sciences Po Paris Campus Closed Amid Gaza Protest

Updated:

France's esteemed Sciences Po university announced the closure of its main Paris site on Friday, May 3, in response to a recent occupation by pro-Palestinian students. The closure follows a series of protests fueled by outrage over the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting crisis in Gaza.

In a message to staff, the Sciences Po University's management declared the central Paris buildings would remain shut, urging employees to continue working remotely. The protests included a "peaceful sit-in" organized by a committee of pro-Palestinian students, with six individuals beginning a hunger strike in solidarity with Gaza's victims.
