CALL TO THE POPULATION

While fighting for their claims the students of NANTERRE clashed with the forces of the police. Comrades were caught and 7 union militants were arrested and brought before the Discipline Council.

On Friday 3 May a peaceful meeting that was taking place in the courtyard of the Sorbonne, was used as a pretext for the police, at the behest of Rector ROCHE, to enter the Sorbonne for the first time since Petain, in violation of university exemption, and arrest the meeting’s participants.

This is why thousands of students spontaneously rose up against the Rector’s provocation and the brutality of the police repression. It was following these demonstrations that hundreds of students were arrested and 4 of them were sentenced to time on a prison farm.
