Students from the Lyceum named after Camillo Cavour in the center of Rome on Tuesday occupied the building of the educational institution, holding a demonstration under the slogan “Let’s do it like in France,” a RIA Novosti correspondent reports.

As stated in the message published on the lyceum’s website, “due to the student occupation, all events are suspended until further notice.”

On Tuesday evening, young people gathered near the lyceum building held a protest, raising a banner with the inscription “Rising up is the right.” In the center of the square they placed an Israeli flag with two red smoke bombs burning on it.
