Over 870 People Detained In France As Result Of Overnight Mass Unrest

Over 870 People Detained In France As Result Of Overnight Mass Unrest

More than 870 people have been detained in France overnight as a result of violent protests, which erupted after police shot dead a 17-year-old teenager during a traffic stop, the BFMTV broadcaster reported on Friday, citing law enforcement agencies.

 According to law enforcement agencies, 875 people have been detained, including 408 in the area of the prefecture of the Paris police, the broadcaster said.

French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said earlier in the day that over 660 people were detained overnight.

 The French authorities will identify those who call for protests through social media in light of the ongoing unrest triggered by the killing of a 17-year-old teenager during a traffic stop, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday.

The authorities have noticed calls for organizing aggressive actions on many platforms  Snapchat, TikTok and others  on the one hand, and on the other hand, attempts to "imitate violence," which lead to a kind of detachment from reality among the youngest people.
