Police beat school staff in France

Protests organized by students demanding better education conditions continue in France. Students of Paul Eluard High School in the city of Saint-Denis, a suburb of Paris, have been participating in these protests for weeks.

Images of the moments when people in civilian clothes tried to take a young person away from the school in question were reflected on social media. In the footage, it can be seen that two adults in civilian clothes in a building tried to take a young person away by holding his arms, while the people at the scene stood against this.

According to news in the national press, the staff of Paul Eluard High School made a statement about what happened at the school.

In the statement, it was stated that the school principal called a student to his room and called the police to take this young man into custody, and said, "A large number of staff came to oppose this. This situation resulted in violent reactions from the police, including beatings against our colleagues." The statement was included.
