French police fire teargas to disperse banned pro-Palestinian protest

Police officers in France used teargas and water cannon to break up crowds of people who had gathered in central Paris to demonstrate for Palestine despite a ban imposed by French authorities.

Gérald Darmanin, the interior minister, said people defying the ban should be arrested as 'they are susceptible to disrupt public order'. The ban on pro-Palestinian protests comes as the French government fears a rise in antisemitism triggered by the Israel-Hamas war. Protesters said the ban threatened freedom of expression.

I feel bad for all the shop owners, workers and general everyday people that are just trying to get by having to deal with countless protests in some french cities. They can’t catch a break

You are free to leave France if you think you think you are being oppressed

Most part of Europe is doomed due to this kind of people.

There is a difference between freedom of speech and something that is banned, you can say whatever you want but if it is banned in a particular region then you are not permitted to do it.

[Alin-ybzl]

If you want freedom of speech and support Palestine, go to Iran, Rusia, China or Nord Koreea!!😅😅😅 You can support from there!!!

[jobertconcepcion]

respect the countries policies or go back to your place !!!

That person does not realise that an innocent teacher has been killed and he is surprised to see the manifestation banned? According to researches, people who are in group tend to behave more recklessly.
