Thousands of people in France took part in pro-Palestine protests yesterday, with slogans including #FreePalestineBy Hannah Thompson
Around 22,000 people in 60 towns across France took part in pro-Palestine protests yesterday (May 15), including 2,500-3,000 people in Paris, despite the police prefecture having banned the gathering.
Most of the protests took place peacefully. Police made 51 arrests, of which 44 were in Paris.
By the end of the day, 15 people were still in police custody, in connection with “participating in a group intending to commit violence”, “participation in a gathering despite being given a warning”, and “violence against law enforcement officers”.
