Mom of Dead Russian Plague-Lab Worker Says ‘I Know The Truth’ — Denies Broken Test Tube Story– wltreport.com
News Source

EXCERPT:

No one is questioning whether or not the Russian lab handled the plague.

It’s CALLED the Anti-Plague Research Institute for a reason.  And locals just call it the ‘Plague Lab’.

But one woman is challenging the entire story about a broken test-tube that led to the death of at least one lab worker, along with the unverified reported rumors of a possible second death.

The mother of the the 28-year-old lab tech says that broken test-tube story is complete nonsense.

She’s not buying it, and she has a logical reason to back up her claim.  (We’ll get to that in just a moment.)

By the time reports started surfacing outside Russia there were already hundreds of people under quarantine, and local Russian media was being scrubbed of the initial reports that even mentioned the word ‘plague’.

Already, the debate about whether it was plague — or something else — had begun to take center stage in the story, as evidenced in this early NBC News report:

Five days after that report, and those questions still have not been sufficiently answered.

On Wednesday, even the World Health Organization refused to cover for Russia — though the Russians were saying they were fully cooperating with the WHO.

The World Health Organization said otherwise:

 

If you watched that video, the WHO also addressed the reports of a possible second victim they were attempting (unsuccessfully) to investigate.

Again, Russia wasn’t talking.

But days later, the World Health Organization still didn’t have all its questions answered.

In other words… Russia wasn’t talking. (I see a pattern emerging.)

Since then, the mother of Darya Shipilova, who worked in that plague-lab and died from SOMETHING, did start talking.

And what she said — while under quarantine herself — didn’t line up with the official Russian story.

But oddly enough, it did contradict one aspect of the early reports which said a broken test-tube had allowed plague to infect her daughter; which Russia has also denied.

However, Svetlana Shipilova still wasn’t letting Russian authorities off the hook, blaming them directly for her daughter’s death, according to this from the Telegraph:

The mother of a Russian scientist who died in a suspected plague leak has challenged reports that her daughter was infected after breaking a test tube containing plague bacteria.

Darya Shipilova, a 28-year-old laboratory technician at the Siberian anti-plague research institute in Irkutsk, died early on Oct 2 after being taken to hospital in the nearby town of Shelekhov.

Her death, which is still shrouded in mystery, was attributed to infection with the “plague” by local officials and pro-government media in now-deleted posts. The Kremlin has dismissed the claims and denied imposing anti-plague measures.

On Wednesday, the World Health Organisation (WHO) demanded that Russia answer questions about reports of a second, unconfirmed case of plague in Siberia and supply more information about the death of Shipilova.

The researcher’s mother, Svetlana Shipilova, herself a medical professional, told the Russian outlet Glubina that she did not believe the account circulating about her daughter’s death.

“I know the truth,” she said. “I’m having to fend off stupid acquaintances who believed all this – the clever ones didn’t believe it, of course.

“Not even all medical professionals understand it’s impossible to break a test tube like that,” she continued. “Even if you fling it at the wall. Only an amateur could say something like that.

“Even hypothetically, you simply can’t spill what’s inside or break the tube – they’re that well protected.”

She also told reporters: “They simply let my daughter die.”

Although officials have not publicly confirmed the reports, accounts shared widely in local media suggested that the younger Shipilova had become infected with pneumonic plague after being exposed to the highly infectious pathogen in a lab mishap. (Emphasis added.)

Unfortunately, that is where this story once again grows cold.

Just yesterday, Reuters essentially summed up the most recent update from the World Health Organization with this short headline:

In other words, Russia STILL isn’t talking.

And even though Daria’s mother was talking — she didn’t really give the DETAILS of what she says she knows.

She obviously didn’t buy the broken test-tube idea, and had some solid personal experience and knowledge about test-tubes to back up her claim.

But so far we’re left with two unanswered questions stemming from Daria’s mother’s claims.

If ‘they’ simply ‘let’ her daughter die:

  1. How?
  2. And maybe more importantly, Why?

Unfortunately, if Daria’s mother addressed those in more detail, that part of the interview hasn’t been shared publicly.

That gap in the information has only fueled the speculation about what is really going on in Russia, as related in this report from the New York Post:

Russian officials have remained unnervingly quiet regarding the circumstances under which Daria Shipilova had become infected with pneumonic plague, despite reports she was exposed in a lab mishap.

As a result of her death, hundreds who had come into contact with her were placed under quarantine.

Moscow has only confirmed that she died of “pneumonia of unknown origin” — but experts are now questioning whether the strain of plague that killed her could have been modified as a potential bioweapon.

“If she was working in a plague lab and had an accident, there would have been a protocol for her to go on antibiotics,” Former CDC Director Robert Redfield told NewsNation on Tuesday.

“Now, if the plague that she was working with had been manipulated to not be sensitive to antibiotics … that would explain why maybe they didn’t work.”

President Trump, meanwhile, downplayed the possibility that the scientist died from a biological weapon, saying Wednesday that “we don’t think so” but that “we’re going to find out soon enough.”

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday that Russia reported the incident to the World Health Organization and followed international protocol — accusing the media of pushing false information ​about the case.

The World Health Organization and the United States are pushing Moscow to provide ​greater transparency about the incident.

In many respects, that just tells us what we already knew and reminds us we haven’t been told everything.

But there is one thing I’ll say with certainty, which Glenn Beck nailed in this short video.

You don’t quarantine hundreds of people and hospitals and just shut EVERYTHING DOWN — which, Russia did, try as they might to hide it…

Because someone caught a cold or came down with run-of-the-mill pneumonia.

Here’s that clip:

And here’s the full text from his post for easier reading:

Pneumonic plague spreads through the air, moves fast, and kills quickly. Even with immediate treatment, it carries a brutal death rate. If you don’t get treatment within 24 hours, it’s virtually 100% fatal.

So, a lab tech drops a test tube in Siberia, dies four days later, and Russia won’t even utter the word “plague.” They call it “pneumonia of unknown origin.”

Well I think they know the origin. They know exactly what was in that broken tube. And while they play PR games with the diagnosis and potential outbreak, every hour they waste is an hour taken off the clock. Beating this depends on someone telling the truth on day one. If they are hiding the truth, like they did with anthrax in the 70s, we are already behind the clock.

Besides the rationale behind Russia’s response, Glenn Beck made one other assertion in that clip that I’m going to comfortably file under the heading of ‘that tracks’.

Whatever the ‘incident’ that happened in the lab — a broken test-tube, a spilled vial, a missed security protocol — whatever…

Russia knows the toxin, the bacteria, the virus, or other biological hazard, that was involved.

Whatever actually happened, which Russia is being deceptively less-than-forthcoming about; they aren’t keeping that secret because they don’t know it themselves.

They’re keeping it under wraps from the media, the Trump Administration, the WHO, and the rest of the world because they DO know what it is.

And whatever it is… they don’t want the rest of us to know.

Again, that doesn’t answer the questions that Daria’s mother left unanswered — the ‘how’ and the ‘why’ Russia would “simply let my daughter die”.

And it doesn’t definitively require the answer to be THE PLAGUE — weaponized, or not.

But it does corroborate the part of the story that Svetlana Shipilova emphasized, even while AGREEING with Russia’s assertion that no broken test-tube was involved.

For some reason, she believes Daria was allowed to die purposefully, presumably to cover up some truth.

And she believes it enough to go on record with Russian media, inside Russia, WHILE BEING QUARANTINED.

Which is really saying something.

So far, nine days after Daria’s death and at least a week since the reports of plague started to surface, we still don’t know what the PLAGUE LAB WORKER came in contact with… which very quickly led to her death.

We know that Russia says there was no trace of plague on her body.

But we also know that even the WHO hasn’t been able to independently verify that.

If I were to venture a guess, they probably never will.

And the body of the victim(s)?

Wouldn’t that now be the key for discovering what actually killed Daria?

It might be — if anyone could examine her body.

Why do I have a sinking suspicion that will never happen, either?


Pentagon stops using Anthropic tools after blacklisting company, BBC told– www.bbc.co.uk
News Source
EXCERPT:

The US Department of Defence is no longer using Anthropic’s AI tools, an official has told the BBC, months after it designated the company a supply chain risk on national security grounds.

The Pentagon “has ceased the use of Anthropic products”, the department official said in a statement on Monday.

Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth labelled Anthropic a supply chain risk in February, and announced that the Pentagon would stop using it by late August. It is not clear why there has been a delay.

Multiple people familiar with the matter told the BBC that as recently as last week Anthopic’s Claude model was still being used by the department in research, analysis and intelligence gathering as well as in military operations against Iran.

It was viewed as a critical tool for sorting through vast quantities of information, the people said. They include former US defence officials and contractors who have worked closely with the Pentagon specifically on AI.

A spokesman for Anthropic declined to comment when asked about the Pentagon’s statement.

The details of the department stopping all use of Anthropic’s tools have not been previously reported.

The firm had been used by the US government and military since 2024 and was the first advanced AI company to have its tools deployed in government agencies doing classified work.

But earlier this year, the Pentagon pressed it to remove its safety guardrails from Claude and give the military unfettered access to its AI products.

When Anthropic refused, citing concerns of mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, Hegseth designated the company a “national security supply-chain risk” – a law typically reserved for companies based in countries that pose a threat to the US.

Anthropic said the move was “unprecedented and unlawful” and has sued the Trump administration in an effort to overturn the designation.

Picking on chatbots will soon break the rules at one major artificial intelligence company.

Anthropic added a ban on “sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior” toward its Claude models to its Usage Policy Thursday, with the change set to take effect Nov. 12, the company announced. These rules on chatbot “welfare” follow co-founder Chris Olah’s warnings to religious scholars that he believed the company may have built a conscious machine.

“We’ve added a prohibition on sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior toward our models,” Anthropic said in the “Addressing abusive behavior toward our models” section of the policy update. “The policy update is meant to apply only in extreme cases, where users repeatedly act cruelly toward our models, with no discernible purpose.”

Anthropic clarified that arguments with the model, dark themes, and legitimate model testing would not trigger the ban, according to the policy.

James Talarico’s Woke Insanity Claims The Bible Supports Killing Babies in Abortions– www.lifenews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

U.S. Senate candidate for Texas James Talarico had just begun voicing regret over his past statements that there are six genders, that men should play in women’s sports, and that “God is nonbinary.” Then Talarico’s lesbian “minister” was caught on camera with an entirely different spin, telling an undercover journalist that his newfound moderation is all a lie to get more votes.

Texas voters are right to be concerned that his campaign’s “Christian” packaging is false advertising. So, let’s check his record.

Talarico made his name as the progressive “Christian” alternative to Republican Ken Paxton, the current Texas attorney general, who has been endorsed by President Donald Trump.

As a member of the Texas House of Representatives, Talarico voted against SB 14, the law protecting minors from mutilating gender surgeries and sterilizing puberty blockers. Now he claims he only opposed certain parts of the bill and wanted to see amendments before he could vote for it.

His record on women’s sports tells the same story. In 2021, Talarico voted against HB 25, the Texas law requiring student athletes in public schools to compete on teams that match their biological sex. Back then, he didn’t talk about amendments. He told his colleagues, “You can’t compromise with hate,” and argued that “some things are more important than perfectly fair competition in sports.”

Now that he’s running statewide, Talarico says he will oppose trans athletes playing in girls’ sports “if it risks safety or fairness.” That little word “if” is doing a lot of work. It means Talarico reserves the right to decide when it’s “fair” and “safe” for a boy to compete against girls and share their locker room, and in those cases, he’s fine with it.

But here’s the truth: it is always unfair for men to play against women, and men in women’s sports always endanger women.

God made us male and female, equally loved, differently formed. No amount of political denial of that reality changes the reality God created, nor the level of hurt women will face because of transgender ideology. To deny our natural state, made in God’s image, is to deny God Himself.

Talarico’s disconnection from reality — and from Biblical principles — goes beyond the gender issue to the most basic right we all have: life.

Talarico has claimed that abortion and gay marriage are mentioned nowhere in the Bible. This is an embarrassingly debunkable statement, one that we at Students for Life Action (SFLAction) exposed months ago with the copious Bible verses defining humans as male and female, husband and wife, and revealing God’s intention for our lives before we are even in the womb.

While Talarico does not seem committed to what Scripture actually says, many who attend church do care.

That’s why our student leaders went to Talarico’s own church, stood outside, and left flyers on the cars of the worshippers inside. It was the first stop in our campaign to reach more than 100 churches, reminding the faithful of Biblical truth: Life begins at conception, God abhors murder, and He made every one of us in His image, male and female.

Certainly, Talarico’s radical theology is an effort to cut into the pro-life, pro-faith voters who consistently vote Republican. As ABC News noted, many Democrats are trying to reclaim the faith conversation for their political ambitions.

But we’ve seen this before. After values voters helped decide the 2004 election, Democrats turned to progressive activist Rev. Jim Wallis. He wrote a bestselling book, God’s Politics, took it on a national tour, and went to Capitol Hill teaching Democrats how to talk to Christians and campaign for their votes.

More than 20 years later, Democrats still can’t figure it out, because they aren’t true believers. Even Wallis admitted at the time, “It’s so transparent when somebody is being inauthentic about religion.” Talarico is just the 2026 version of a decades-old Democratic problem. And it’s hard to reclaim the faith conversation when your apologetics are about explaining why the Bible doesn’t mean what it says.

The race is tight. And as Talarico has struggled under the weight of his past lunacy, notice where he went to clean it up. He didn’t go to MSNOW or The Nation, the Leftist outlets his base trusts. He went to Fox News to tell conservative voters not to believe what they have heard him say in interview clips.

Meanwhile, in far-Left circles, he is actively working to appeal to radical pro-abortion, pro-child-mutilation socialists by repeating their messaging. He recently went viral talking about his favorite drag queen. And in a private Zoom call with the far-Left Austin Sierra Club, Talarico spoke of dismantling capitalism, climate change doomerism, and our country being one of white supremacy and billionaire-contrived class warfare, reports Townhall.

This is not a genuine change of heart; it’s voter-segmented packaging, built on the hope that liberals won’t watch Fox and conservatives will believe he doesn’t really mean what he says.

Jesus cares about truth. In John 14:6, we read: “Jesus said…, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”

Talarico can’t even agree on that, saying all faiths are “equal pathways to truth.”

So, to answer the New York Times question, “Can James Talarico Reclaim Christianity for the Left?” the answer is no. Telling people that God doesn’t mean what He says is the oldest trick in Scripture. It started in the Garden, with a serpent asking Eve, “Did God really say…?”

Christian voters should not be fooled. Talarico is a radical leftist who is saying whatever gets him elected. His own people don’t even buy what he is selling to voters.

 

 

Fort Hood attacker’s execution by firing squad will be livestreamed, Pentagon says– www.bbc.co.uk
News Source
EXCERPT:

There is no modern-era precedent for having a public execution, said John Mills, a lawyer who works with inmates sentenced to death.

“It looks to me designed to be a grotesque spectacle,” he said. “It’s an unprecedented decision in the modern era, and so it is on uncertain legal terrain,” he added.

A military execution requires approval from the US president, according to military law. It also requires appellate review, where a higher court inspects the decision, and a final judgment on its legality to move forward.

The appellate process for Hasan is not over, Mills said, and he is likely to seek review of his conviction and sentence in federal court, which would likely stay the execution.

As such, Mills said that he would be surprised if the execution happened.

“Seeking to make it livestreamed, a firing squad execution, is little more than attention-seeking by the Trump administration and is unlikely to occur, much less deliver any semblance of justice,” he added.

Certain states require some form of public viewing of executions. Many states require journalists to be present, and the person due to be executed can invite people. Others also allow ordinary citizens to volunteer as witnesses.

But “there hasn’t ever been a livestreamed execution,” says Deborah Denno, a law professor at Fordham University, who has studied US execution methods.

A livestreamed execution would “force a level of transparency that we have probably never seen before in this country”, she says.

“More than half of the country wants the death penalty – even though that’s on the decline – an argument could be made that ‘if you want the death penalty, then we are going to show you how it’s conducted in this country’. And people would have to realise exactly what’s happening in a way that many people ignore.”

Denno says there are important considerations for a livestream such as whether it would be age-redistricted and whether it would contravene the policies of the online platform that hosts the viewing.

It is unclear where the livestream will be available. Most major social media platforms have rules that prohibit or restrict livestreaming explicit content.

 

90,000 Babies Will be Killed With Abortion Pills Before FDA Finally Does Review– www.lifenews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Alliance Defending Freedom Of Counsel Erin Hawley commented regarding the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s court-ordered update submitted Wednesday on its mifepristone safety study. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill and Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys asked the court to require the FDA to restore the in-person dispensing requirement for the abortion drug:

“The American people deserve the thorough report on abortion drug safety that the FDA has promised for nearly two years, but the agency has again failed to deliver it. The FDA now says it won’t release its final study until March. That will be too late for nearly 90,000 unborn babies who will die between now and then by illegally obtained abortion drugs in states like Louisiana that have taken great care to protect babies and mothers from the harms of abortion.

“But even then, the lengthy regulatory work that will be required after the study concludes could push any potential solution to the next administration. Not only is that unacceptable, but it’s also beside the point. The release of a study does nothing to correct the unlawfulness of the FDA’s 2023 decision, which three 5th Circuit panels, two district court judges, and now DOJ leadership itself have all concluded was ‘wrong.’

“Meanwhile, every month of additional delay puts nearly 15,000 additional babies at risk in states where mail-order abortion drugs are unlawful—1,000 in Louisiana alone—and more women like Rosalie, Catherine, and Elizabeth at risk of being coerced or tricked into ingesting these life-ending drugs. Nobody disputes that. And the FDA can easily end that today, even while its study continues, by entering into a consent decree with Louisiana to vacate the 2023 REMS.

“Indeed, mail-order abortions don’t empower women—they facilitate the abuse, coercion, and poisoning of women by making high-risk drugs accessible to bad actors at the click of a button. The FDA knows the right thing is to restore the in-person dispensing requirement. In fact, a new peer-reviewed article was just released detailing that the agency lacked evidence to justify removing this basic safety requirement.

“Life is the first and most basic human right, and states have the right to protect it. The administration should set politics aside and respect states’ interest in protecting life, act now to restore abortion drugs’ minimum safety requirements, and settle ADF’s and Louisiana’s lawsuit.”

The death of an 87-year-old woman who was evicted from her longtime home has intensified a political crisis in Spain, where nationwide protests over soaring housing costs have helped force an early election.

María del Carmen Abascal, known as “Maricarmen,” died Wednesday after being hospitalized following her eviction from a Madrid apartment where she had lived for seven decades, according to The Associated Press.

Her death came just days after Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called a snap election for Nov. 29 following his government’s failure to pass emergency housing measures through Parliament.

The controversy has put renewed pressure on Sánchez’s Socialist Party as Spain grapples with widespread frustration over rising rents and housing affordability.

Parents who dared speak out against progressive policies in American public schools were tracked and harassed by the FBI. If you dared go to a school board meeting and speak out against pro-transgender policies, or gay porn in school libraries, Biden’s FBI viewed you as a national security risk.

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon stated, “Under the Biden Administration, parents were the enemy. They were labeled as terrorists, targeted, and investigated by a government weaponized against them. That era is over. The Trump Administration is acting with unprecedented energy and purpose to restore parents’ natural rights as the primary protectors of their children.”

Attorney General Merrick Garland and others ignored stark warnings from the DOJ’s own attorneys against sending the FBI to investigate concerned parents who opposed leftist school policies as potential domestic terrorists.


In a scathing new report, the Department of Justice’s Weaponization Working Group concluded that the Biden administration worked together with the National School Boards Association (NSBA) in 2021 to target parents who opposed local school board policies and ignored warnings from their own attorneys that their actions were political and likely a blatant violation of the Constitution.

The 273-page report, released on  Monday, comes five years after the DOJ labeled parents expressing their free speech as potential domestic terrorists. At that time, parents were increasingly frustrated over policies governing COVID, teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT) and other Marxist ideas, and boys in girls’ sports and private spaces. They were voicing these concerns, often loudly and in large numbers, at school board meetings, as well as in writing.

In response, the NSBA sent a letter to President Biden claiming that schools and education leaders were “under an immediate threat” from parents who were participating in the equivalent of “domestic terrorism and hate crimes” and committing “acts of malice, violence, and threats” against school board members, school staff, and students and asking for “immediate assistance” to protect schools, school board members, and educators. It suggested that charges could be brought under a slew of federal terrorism and hate crime laws, including the Patriot Act and the Conspiracy Against Rights statute.

France Youth Riots Manipulated by Far-Left Mélenchon Party: Paris Police– www.breitbart.com

EXCERPT:

A report from the Paris Police’s intelligence branch has reportedly found that radical presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s far-left La France Insoumise party instigated the youth riots which plunged much of the country into chaos this week.

Over 5,000 people were arrested this week as mayhem broke out around the so-called student actions at over a thousand high schools across France, in which multicultural youths ran roughshod, engaging in mindless destruction and wanton violence, including attacks on police and innocent bystanders, arson, and vandalism

According to Interior Minister Laurent Nunez, some 85 per cent of the arrests made during the riots were under the age of 18.

However, a report from the Paris Police Prefect claimed that other forces were likely pulling the strings behind the scenes, finding that “the origins of the movement clearly lie in the manipulation of student union structures and political movements close to the far left.”

The report, obtained by Le Figaro, claimed that members of political organisations such as the Young Revolutionary Communists and the La France Insoumise (LFI/France in Rebellion) party of Jean-Luc Mélenchon may have a “strategy of igniting unrest on the part of the most radical union and political structures to impose their ideas as national elections approach.”

While the students largely displayed “a clear desire for disorder, notably through the commission of urban violence, without any specific social demands,” the police report said that “clearly, high school students are being pushed into these actions by far-left elements identified both within student union structures at Paris 8 University (Le Poing levé, FSE), or Paris Nanterre (FSE).”

The FBI caught another wanna-be terrorist before they could act by first seemingly enabling their actions. Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, an 18-year-old Somali-American, was arrested and accused of plotting to kill Americans in the Mall of America using an AK-47 and 200 rounds of ammo. The teen purchased the inert AK-47 from the FBI. This is how the arrest was made.

The DOJ released a statement that, in part, exclaimed, “The FBI rendered the AK-47 rifle inert prior to the transaction. During the sale of the firearm and ammunition, Mohamud reaffirmed his plan to use the firearm and ammunition to shoot people at the Mall of America”

Just weeks after the United States commemorated the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorists attacks, a new poll reveals more than one in five undergraduate students believe America deserved the attacks, while nearly half of all undergraduate students think physical violence is justified to stop so-called hate speech.

The Buckley Institute’s 2026 National Undergraduate Student Survey polled 803 American undergraduate students between September 5 and 14.

A shocking 22 percent agreed that America deserved 9/11, including 28 percent of liberal students. Notably, leftist streamer Hasan Piker — who campaigned with Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and cozies up to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — has said America deserved 9/11. Meanwhile, Aber Kawas, a Democratic Socialist of America member and nominee for the New York state Senate, has said that America brought on 9/11 because of capitalism, alleged white supremacy and racism, and alleged Islamophobia.

The poll also found that 45 percent of American college students believe physical violence can be justified to stop hate speech — among which 54 percent of liberals agree compared to 30 percent of conservatives.

“Interestingly, 72% of those who agree that physical violence can be justified to stop hate speech also agree that hate speech is protected by the First Amendment,” The Buckley Institute found.

Teen Farage Supporter Arrested over Online Jokes About Tory Councillor– www.breitbart.com

EXCERPT:

A 15-year-old supporter of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party was arrested in Britain after he made jokes about a local Conservative Party politician online.

The schoolboy, only referred to as Fraser, was arrested by four officers from the West Midlands Police at his home in the early hours of August 3rd. He was taken from his family home and searched in front of his neighbours, locked in a cell, fingerprinted, had a mugshot taken, and had a sample of his DNA taken. Meanwhile, two officers searched his bedroom, and he was pressured to hand over his phone for other officers to search.

While the police force has yet to confirm the reason for the 15-year-old’s arrest, The Telegraph reports that it appears that it was a result of comments made by Fraser online about the standard of dress of the leader of the Conservative Party on the Wolverhampton City Council, Simon Bennett, who has admitted referring the boy to the police over the posts.

In one post, he complained that the Tory councillor had attended a meeting in a T-shirt and shorts and later said he expressed approval when Bennet then attended a subsequent meeting in a suit. Fraser said that he was glad the councillor did not turn up “looking like a rent boy”, a derogatory phrase for homosexual prostitutes in Britain.

But the students urged the movement to continue.

“We want real action, and until we get it, we’ll keep mobilising,” a high school student named Marilou in Fontainebleau told AFP.

Suzanne Nijdam, president of student association Fage, said they did not have “even the crumbs of an agreement” after a meeting with the higher education minister Philippe Baptiste.

She called for protests to continue Thursday with “larger-scale demonstrations next week”.

The students have asked for a direct meeting with Lecornu to present what they have said are costed proposals to address their demands.

Hundreds of students, police and teaching staff have been injured since the protests began, and more than 6,500 people – mostly minors – have been arrested.

While many rallies have been peaceful, some demonstrators have started fires, destroyed bus shelters or clashed with riot police.

A 15-year-old lost a hand on Monday after police fired a stun grenade, and Interior Minister Laurent Nunez told radio broadcaster RTL early Wednesday that he had suspended the police use of stun grenades in response.
