PARIS, 29 November 2020, (TON): Amidst this week of CCTV footage of humiliating and long beating of African origin French music producer Michel Zecler by three police officers in Paris hundreds and thousands of protesters marched and took out peace processions in Paris.  The protesters were also aggrieved over draft law curbing the right of journalists to report on police brutality. The bill would make it a crime to circulate images of police officers in certain circumstances, which as per the journalists would limit press freedom.

Meanwhile, small groups clashed with police when they were denied of their democratic rights.  Situation got out of control when Police fired tear gas and stun grenades during a protest march against police violence in Paris on Saturday. The protesters in reaction launched fireworks at their lines and threw stones on Police. The protesters were shouting that translated, “We are not Islamists who will keep quiet over serious breach of human rights”. Many protesters carried placards with slogans including “Democracy bludgeoned”, “Who will protect us from the Police” and “Stop police violence”. Police sources said, two cars, a motorcycle and building materials were set on fire, which generated clouds of black smoke visible from miles away.
