Social movement of high school students in France: Iran denounces "disproportionate violence" against protesters

The article discusses the ongoing student protests in France and reports that Iran has criticized the French authorities for using excessive force against demonstrators. The Iranian government expressed concern over the treatment of protesters, describing it as disproportionate. This comes amid widespread unrest among French high school students, who are protesting against various issues including education policies and living conditions. The situation highlights international reactions to domestic social movements.

French high school blockades continue with ongoing violence, drawing criticism and controversy. The movement, which began over concerns about underfunded schools, has escalated into widespread unrest marked by clashes and injuries. According to recent reports, 984 individuals were detained on Monday alone, while 715 law enforcement officers have been injured since the protests started. The education minister, Édouard Geffray, noted that 190 students have been hurt, some due to accidental causes and others linked to troublemakers using devices such as mortars. The violence has sparked debate over responsibility, with some attributing the escalation to excessive police force. A number of students reject the violent methods used during the demonstrations, emphasizing that their demands are now being heard. Meanwhile, incidents involving severe injuries, such as a severed hand and a seriously injured eye, have raised concerns among parents and educators about the safety of participants. International reactions have also emerged, with Iran condemning what it describes as disproportionate violence against protesters. French politician Dominique de Villepin responded sharply, rejecting lessons from a regime accused of mass killings within its own population. The extreme-right Anglo-Saxon media has been criticized for exploiting these events, sometimes spreading misinformation. As the situation continues to unfold, the focus remains on the impact of the violence on both students and law enforcement, with ongoing uncertainty about how the protests will evolve.

Why objectivity (40): The tone is clearly biased, presenting the extreme-right groups as manipulative actors without providing balanced context. The language used ('instrumentalise', 'fausses informations') carries a strong political charge and does not present multiple viewpoints.
