PARIS, March 11 (Xinhuanet) -- Police and rioting student clashed Saturday at Paris's famous Sorbonne university, leaving 11 officers injured, police said.

    Another 20 police officers were injured in scuffles and clasheson Friday with the angry students protesting against the controversial youth job plan that was passed definitely by the French parliament on Thursday.

    One student and a photographer were also injured in the violence at the campus.

    Anti-riot police used teargas and batons to evacuate some 400 students during their operation that began early morning and lasted only 10 minutes.

    Dozens of students made barricades and hurled anything at hand at the helmeted officers. Twenty-five people were arrested in the process.

    Education Minister Gilles de Robien told France Info radio on Saturday that the police action was a "good thing" and the students had got what they deserved for the damage they caused to the university during their three-day protest.

    "It's a good thing that the Sorbonne has been evacuated. In a democracy one can vote, if necessary one can demonstrate calmly, but not riot," he said. Enditem
