Léa, a 19-year-old student enrolled at Sciences Po Saint-Germain-en-Laye, was summoned before a disciplinary committee after interrupting a talk by Yaël Braun-Pivet to draw attention to Palestinian victims and call for a minute of silence. The school's management has notably criticised her for sharing a video of the intervention, citing a breach of image rights. Legal proceedings are underway and the student faces expulsion from the institution.
