[국제]Demonstration against security law for 2 weeks in France…Protesters and police collide again

On the 5th of local time in Paris, the French capital, protests against the’Comprehensive Security Act’, which prohibited the distribution of photos of police officers on the Internet, were held again.

Thousands of young people, union officials, journalists, and human rights activists flocked to Paris on that day.

The march, which began in Porte de Rila, in eastern Paris, continued to Republique Square.

Like last weekend, the protests on the day were violent, leading to clashes with the police.

Greatness burned parked cars and broke windows in supermarkets and banks.

When protesters threw stones at the police, the police responded with tear gas.

Participants held placards such as’France, the country of the police power’ and’Repeal of the security law’ and shouted out slogans such as “Macron, that’s enough”.

One protester told Reuters, “We are heading towards limiting increasingly important freedoms,” and “this can never be justified.”

Article 24 of the Security Act, promoted by the government, prohibits the posting of images containing information that can identify the face or identity of a police officer for the purpose of inflicting psychological or physical harm.

The government has explained that it is a measure to ensure the safety of police officers who protect the French people, but some point out that it will violate the freedom of the press and weaken the check function of abuse of public power.
