Students at Roland-Garros high school in Tampon are continuing their protests against a local government order that bans gatherings near the school on October 8 and 9. The order, issued by the prefect of La Réunion on October 7, prohibits "any gathering, demonstration or procession of people or groups" in the area. Students are calling for the cancellation of the decree, arguing it violates their right to protest and stating that "this right cannot be sacrificed in the name of a security logic." They insist that previous demonstrations near the school have been peaceful and that any minor incidents should not justify restricting their rights. The movement has criticized the authorities' response to their protests as becoming more focused on security. They have pointed to the increased presence of law enforcement, the use of drones for surveillance, and random police checks without clear justification. During a demonstration in Saint-Pierre on October 5, two drones were seen flying over the area. Later that day, after journalists left, a group of about a dozen young people were stopped and checked by police. The students are making several demands, including more funding for the National Education system, changes to the Parcoursup college admissions system, and smaller class sizes. They also want to be heard on equal terms with adults and argue that their age should not be used to limit their rights. They emphasize that "our fundamental freedoms are no less valuable than those of others." Additionally, the movement has condemned the arrest of a high school student in Saint-Paul on October 5. During the arrest, a police officer placed his knee on the student’s neck while the student was already on the ground and being controlled by another officer. The students describe this act as "unacceptable" and have pledged to support the victim and their family.
