Failed for no reason

Both holders of a law degree obtained at Lyon-3, Rabah Derraredj and Iman Boumediene had not found a place in a master's degree in business law for the 2021-2022 academic year. According to the decree of May 19, 2021, the rectorate has the obligation to submit three proposals to all students, holders of a license, who wish to register for a master's degree. Rabah and Iman were rejected from Lyon-3, Lyon-2 and Aix-en-Provence, without their understanding the reasons.

They had started a hunger strike on October 5, living and sleeping in a makeshift camp in front of Lyon-3 University, to claim their right to study.

Monday, October 11, Iman, victim of discomfort, had to be transported to the emergency room.

Exhausted, Rabah ended up breaking camp the next day.
