The demonstration took place three days after protests at the French capital’s elite Sciences Po and came in the wake of rallies on campuses across the US against the war.
“We have every reason like in Yale, in Columbia, in Sciences Po … to condemn what we can see is happening,” the student, who only gave his name as Leonard, said at another rally outside the gates of the Sorbonne.
The university, one of the world’s oldest, closed its buildings for the day during the peaceful protests. Students chanted “Free Palestine” and urged the institution to condemn Israel.
Reporting from Paris, Al Jazeera’s Natacha Butler said the protests were continuing outside the university’s gates.
