A group of protestors are standing on the the base of a large statue. Some have climbed up onto figures in the statue. One is holding a Palestinian flag, other hold the flag of France. In the middle several students hold a black banner with white letters that say "Your repression wont stop our revolt!" in French. There is also a drawing of an armored police pointing a huge gun on the banner. All the protestors appear to be young, but it's hard to tell because their faces are blurred. It is a sunny day with clear blue skies.
