Teachers and students at Marie-Curie high school in Marseille's 5th arrondissement criticized the actions of law enforcement during a protest on Wednesday, October 7. According to a statement from the students and teachers involved, about fifty CRS (riot police) officers arrived at the protest site at 9:30 a.m. Teachers formed a human chain between the police and the students, and everyone involved got on the ground as a sign of peaceful resistance. However, when the police ordered a charge, teachers were trampled and pushed aside. Two students were injured, with one 17-year-old suffering a significant head injury and receiving treatment from firefighters. Firefighters also put out a small fire in a trash can shortly before 10 a.m. A student was arrested for allegedly firing a mortar, and the statement mentioned that "lacrimogenic gas and disengagement grenades" were used during the incident. The police prefecture of the Bouches-du-Rhône denied the use of disengagement grenades, stating that only lacrimogenic gas was used to disperse the crowd. The prefecture reported that 100 people gathered in front of the school, blocking access to the school and a public road. It noted that some individuals had their faces covered, which posed a risk to themselves and others. According to the police, four CRS officers and one student were injured, and another student was arrested for allegedly firing a mortar. The collective of Marseille schools called for a "massive mobilization" on Thursday, and several education unions announced plans to strike and hold demonstrations on October 8 in support of the high school movement. The incident has drawn attention to the tensions between students, educators, and law enforcement, highlighting concerns over the use of force and the safety of those participating in protests. As the situation unfolds, the broader implications for student activism and police conduct remain under scrutiny.
