Curfew in 20 suburbs of Paris

According to the report of Fars International News Agency, the French police have deployed 45,000 police and anti-riot forces tonight to deal with the protests that have occurred in various cities during the past nights.

French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanan said that since Saturday evening, 45,000 police and anti-riot forces have been deployed in various cities to prevent the riots that have engulfed these cities in recent days.

The unrest in France began after a police officer shot and killed a 17-year-old boy in a traffic accident on Tuesday morning. In this incident, the police officer shot at him suspecting that he was trying to escape.

According to the latest report issued by the French Ministry of Interior, more than 1300 people have been arrested in the recent unrest.

The French Interior Minister also said that more security forces have been sent to the city of Lyon to prevent the escalation of conflicts in this Vendée city.

Al Jazeera’s reporter also reported that the French police were widely deployed on the Champs Elysees in the center of Paris to prevent any protests and unrest in this area.

This news channel also announced that curfews have been imposed in 20 cities in the suburbs of Paris.

Following the publication of the news of the murder of a 17-year-old teenager, angry protesters set fire to government buildings and vehicles in the countryside of France. Since then, the unrest has spread to other French cities and regions. French President Emmanuel Macron described the teenager’s death as “inexplicable and unjustifiable”.

On Thursday, international media reported that the officer who committed the murder was charged with manslaughter.
