Sorbonne Nouvelle Files Complaint Over Student Posts Praising Oct. 7 Hamas Attacks

University leaders labeled the messages antisemitic, prompting referrals to prosecutors.

Overview

  • The student collective “Comité action Paris 3” posted on X that opening its account was “the second most glorious thing to happen on a 7 October.”
  • The posts relayed statements attributed to Hamas figure Yahya Sinwar and promoted the “return of the antifac” with a daytime self-managed occupation at Paris‑III.
  • University president Daniel Mouchard‑Zay called the messages antisemitic and an apologia for terrorism and filed an Article 40 referral to the public prosecutor.
  • He also referred the matter to the university’s disciplinary commission and reported the content to the national Pharos platform.
  • Reporters observed the collective’s X account inactive the next day, as Sorbonne Nouvelle’s action followed similar recent referrals by Paris‑I Panthéon‑Sorbonne and Sorbonne Université.
