Tear Gas in Paris and Marseille as Student Protests Spread in France

Tear gas was used in Paris and Marseille as student protests widened in France, with crowds made up largely of teenagers demanding greater resources for schools.

The demonstrators called for more support for education, putting school funding and resources at the centre of their demands.

They also called for an end to what they described as police repression, linking their education demands to concerns over the treatment of protesters.

The demonstrations in the two cities reflected a widening student protest movement, bringing demands over schools and policing onto the streets.
