Climate activist condemns ‘extremely violent’ police response as French school unrest continues
Greta Thunberg has travelled to Paris to join the student protests sweeping France.
The Swedish climate activist joined pupils outside the Paul-Éluard lycée in Saint-Denis, where about 20 lawyers in robes formed a human chain to protect the teenagers from alleged police brutality.
Ms Thunberg, 23, condemned what she described as an “extremely violent” police response, and said: “Our future is being robbed away from us.”
She told reporters: “They should know that all over the world we are following these developments. We are inspired by the young people who are demanding their basic rights.
“Whether it’s not funding schools enough, or the climate crisis, or social injustice crises ... it’s about time that young people are stepping up and reclaiming that future.”....
