Unfortunately they headed straight towards a row of police vans. They were tackled to the ground.

Anyone arrested inside the Polytechnic cordon would face rioting charges, potentially 10 years in prison, police said."They do not trust the system, expressly related to the police." Other protesters were "very passionate and want to stay" to prevent police storming inside their university. "They have nurtured a kind of brotherhood and solidarity, so if someone won't leave the others wouldn't like to leave either," he said.

It was not only protesters who emerged from the campus, where food supplies had been cut off for two days. Volunteers in the bright yellow vests of the church group Save the Children filed out under arrest.
