French police used gas cannons and water cannons against protesters in Paris. TASS reports.
During the protests, protesters in Trocader Square began throwing firecrackers and bottles at police officers, and burning bonfires in the middle of the road. After that, the police used special means, including gas canisters.
As a result of the dispersal of the demonstration, 23 people were detained, one law enforcement officer was slightly injured, according to the Parisian police on their Twitter.
Protests in France began after deputies of the National Assembly supported the article of the bill “On global security”. It criminalizes the dissemination of images of a police person or other identifying element of a police or gendarme officer with the intent to harm him. The bill provides for this punishment in the form of one year of imprisonment and a fine of 45 thousand euros.
