UN experts have voiced alarm at France's handling of student protests, saying the crackdown on lycée students demonstrating in France is deeply concerning. The statement, published by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, has been widely shared, with commentators highlighting the unusual step of UN human rights experts publicly criticising France, a country that often positions itself as a defender of civic freedoms.
Why now: UN experts publicly criticising a Western democracy's treatment of student protesters is rare and striking.
