Riot police attack anti-racism protest in Paris
RIOT police attacked anti-racism demonstrators in Paris with tear gas on Saturday after Paris Prefect Didier Lallement banned the demo.
Mr Lallement said the protest could not go ahead because of lockdown restrictions to limit the spread of coronavirus, though the Council of State later stated that the right to protest remained.
An estimated 15,000 demonstrators were blocked by police from carrying out their intended march.
