PROTESTERS CLASH WITH POLICE IN FRANCE

Protesters clashed with police in Paris on Saturday as demonstrators once again took to the streets of France amid uproar over the government's new security law, according to Euronews.

A total of 95 people were arrested during the protests, which were at times marked by violent incidents between demonstrators and police.

Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said 67 police officers were injured, 48 of those in Paris which saw the biggest protest.

Over 50,000 people turned out across the country, 5,000 of them in the capital, the Interior Ministry announced.

Twenty-five people, including two minors, were taken into custody in Paris, the prosecutor's office said.

The majority of those held in police custody are there for "participation in a group formed to commit violence," the same source said, according to a report drawn up at midnight.

The demonstrations were held against police violence in the country, as well as protesters demanding better economic security.

Almost 90 rallies were organised, with a procession in the capital Paris starting just after 2 pm, with participants holding banners that read: "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, for whom?"

Darmanin thanked police, saying: "Thank you to the forces of law and order mobilised today, sometimes in the face of very violent individuals."

The unrest is largely over a global security bill that would have made it illegal to film and identify police officers with the intent to “harm their physical or psychological integrity."
