Today in Labor History May 3, 1968: The first battles of the May Upheaval began in the Latin Quarter of Paris. The police arrested 500 students meeting at the University of Sorbonne to protest repression at Nanterre.

Politie overtrad regels bij verwonden demonstrant; hondengeleider voor de rechter - Vox magazine

Het inzetten van een politiehond tegen een demonstrant op de campus, in mei vorig jaar, was onrechtmatig. Dat concludeert het Openbaar Ministerie na onderzoek van de Rijksrecherche. De betrokken agent komt voor de rechter, net als een 24-jarige demonstrant. Hem wordt geweld tegen twee Radboudbeveiligers verweten, en verzet bij zijn aanhouding.
