In Paris, two students from the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Clara and Raphaël, were summoned before a disciplinary board after putting up unauthorised posters on the school's premises. These posters notably criticised the school’s handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In addition to the internal disciplinary proceedings, they are facing legal action and could face significant criminal penalties, including a prison sentence and a fine, in a case that remains ongoing.
