Criticism has been raised regarding the police handling of student protests at high schools in France. On Wednesday, October 7, a student was arrested inside the Galilée high school in the Hauts-de-Seine department. The school staff and the local section of the League for Human Rights in Gennevilliers condemned what they called "a brutal maintenance of order" and the repression of the student movement. The incident has sparked concerns about the role of law enforcement in educational institutions and the rights of students. The arrest occurred when a student from the Galilée high school was taken into custody by the police within the school premises, accused of firing fireworks in the courtyard. According to teachers and school staff, the principal allowed the police to consult class photo albums to identify the student. A CPE (a student counselor) and an AED (an educational assistant) were then sent to retrieve the student from class and take him to the school office, where the police were waiting. This action raised concerns about the involvement of school staff in law enforcement activities. The school staff strongly denounced the incident, emphasizing that "the high school must remain a refuge" and that teachers should not be mobilized in police operations. They pointed out that CPEs and AEDs are not police auxiliaries and argued that the administration should have refused the police access to the class photo albums and the request to retrieve the student from class. They demanded that the principal explain her actions and ensure that no staff members are further asked to assist in arrests. Additionally, they called for a stop to sharing student data with law enforcement unless it is done through a formal judicial order. They also expressed concern that the trust between students and adults at the school had been seriously damaged. On October 8, the League for Human Rights in Gennevilliers stated that it had gathered testimonies about the arrest of four students who were detained during a demonstration held before 8 a.m. in front of the school. Their classmates reportedly "suffered violence from law enforcement." The student arrested later within the school was also placed in custody, with the police requesting the involvement of staff members from the institution. The organization emphasized that police actions in high schools are subject to regulations and that schools "cannot become a normalized place of arrest." It also stressed that school staff should not be considered as police auxiliaries. The League for Human Rights condemned the response to the student mobilizations as "a violent repression" that violates the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as the rights to freedom of assembly and expression. It expressed solidarity with the student movement and called for a "respectful and non-police political response." School staff also see the incident as a threat to the freedom of demonstration and expression of their students, highlighting the need for a more sensitive and lawful approach to handling student protests.
