Hundreds of students blocked school entrances and marched after police said that an initial inquiry into the incident, which resulted in severe anal injuries and head trauma, showed "insufficient elements to show that this was a rape."
The school protests are the latest in a series of solidarity protests across the country.
"The climate in France is becoming more and more worrying," Independent Counter-Struggle Movement, a youth group that organized the protest on Facebook, said in a statement. "A great mobilization of youth is more than necessary to counter the security and racist climate."
