May 7, 1968 Parisian students and workers continued their revolt in a nearly successful revolution. The students declared that they were ready for a dialogue on three conditions: withdrawal of the police forces from the Latin Quarter; release and immediate amnesty for the imprisoned students; reopening the Sorbonne and Nanterre. Four hundred and thirty-four demonstrators were arrested on May 7. The police also restored the anarchist Danny Cohn-Bendit's residence permit (but only for a short period). Source
