France sends in riot police and cuts funding to try and silence students at 'sacred' universities (Sciences Po, Sorbonne) who are protesting over Gaza.

Earlier on, life jackets and pictures of the members of the #FreedomFlotilla were placed on the statue at Place de la #République, with protesters asking for the immediate release of the members still held prisoner by Israel.

#PARIS - Pro-Palestine protesters have started an #encampment at the Place de la République. They demand the lift of the blockade on Gaza and the release of the members of the #FreedomFlotilla who are still held prisoners by Israel.

[Sania Mahyou @MahyouSania]

#PARIS - It is nearly 1.30AM in Paris and the #encampment set in the heart of the city by pro-Palestine protesters is still going strong, with dozens of people planning on spending the night on the Place de la #République.

@MiddleEastEye As an Advocacy Officer at Amnesty France put it: "Rather than looking at the individuality of Muslim women, their journey, their diversity and their humanity, they are being attached to an idea, a narrative, an image, either that of an accomplice or that of a [...] a victim".

For @MiddleEastEye, I wrote about a French bill that aims to ban the hijab in all sports competitions. In a context of growing Islamophobia in the country, I have had the chance to speak to the ones who would be directly affected: Muslim hijabi athletes.

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

The hijab may soon be banned from all sports competitions in France, as the lower house of parliament is due to vote on a bill that has been widely condemned by Muslim athletes as Islamophobic

[Dalal Mawadدلال معوض @dalalmawad]

I spoke to @MiddleEastEye about French diplomatic efforts - I argue that although it is not doing enough, it still has no upper hand and its role in Lebanon has wavered . With @ziadmajed - thanks @MahyouSania Can #France stop Israel's war on Lebanon? https://t.co/NDBMjrum49

🇫🇷 One week ago, members of the immigrant communities in Paris sighed in relief after seeing the victory of the left in the snap elections. For @AJEnglish, I went to the street to meet some of them in Belleville, a multicultural district of Paris👇

“It's a half-hearted victory. We have won but the scores of the National Rally don’t foreshadow anything good. In 10, 20 years, who knows what will happen?”

@MahyouSania reports from the Paris neighbourhood where Mélenchon is "everyone's favourite"

My latest for @AJEnglish on the sentiment of fear among many French Muslims after the historic surge of the National Rally on Sunday. The far-right party created in 1972 is now on the verge of power, after years of ‘normalisation’ by media and politicians.

Kids of immigrants grew up being told by their parents that one day, the far right might seize power and you'll need that other passport.

French Muslims fear that day has come, and some have already started fleeing.
