French police disperse protesters near Lyon 3 University

French police used tear gas to disperse a gathering of approximately 150 people near Lyon 3 University. The demonstration was part of a broader mobilization against the rising cost of living in France.

Protesters, primarily high school and university students, blocked a road to disrupt traffic. While the Rhône prefecture had prohibited gatherings within a specific perimeter, a participant claimed the group was exercising their constitutional right to protest outside the restricted zone. The demonstrator noted that there were no acts of vandalism and that an ambulance was permitted to pass through the blockade before police intervention.
