PARIS, France (AFP) — A 15-year-old lost a hand on Monday in the latest round of French high school protests that have erupted into clashes with police, with more than 200 students injured in the violence.
France has been shaken by a wave of demonstrations by teenage students at high schools, or lycees, since late September demanding better classroom conditions.
More than 500 of France’s 3,700 lycees were fully or partially closed on Monday, and bigger demonstrations dubbed “Act III” by a secondary school students’ union are expected on Tuesday as social media calls mount for a “black week” of protests.
