French police break up student protest

French police used truncheons and tear gas on Tuesday to break up a student protest at Paris X University, one of about a dozen campuses across France where classes have been disrupted.

University rector Olivier Audeoud called in police after more than 100 students blocked access to all faculty buildings at the campus in Nanterre, west of Paris.

"This blockade is totally illegal and anti-democratic," Audeoud told AFP after the clash early Tuesday between students who tried to enter the buildings and protesters.
