School Across France Disrupted By Student Protests

Demonstrating against removal of foreign students

Schools in Paris and other French cities are being disrupted again by pupil protests over the removal of two foreign students from France.

Protesters gathered on the French capital's Bastille square, traditional meeting-place of the left, as some demonstrators clashed with riot police.

Divisions have appeared among the ruling Socialists over the affair.

It has emerged that the father of a Roma schoolgirl at the centre of the row lied over his asylum claim.
