French police arrest students protesting controversial anti-Semitism law

Wednesday, 15 April 2026, 00:05 · 1 min read

French police have arrested students at three prominent universities — the Sorbonne, Sciences Po, and Paris-Saclay — following sit-in protests against a proposed anti-Semitism bill. The legislation, known as the 'Yadan law' after the pro-Israel French MP who sponsored it, has drawn criticism from demonstrators who argue it could effectively criminalise criticism of Israel. Lawmakers are scheduled to vote on the bill on April 16.
