On Saturday clashes broke out in the French capital, Paris, between police and protesters against the “comprehensive security” bill, which is interspersed with riots and fires that denounce a new government law that opponents see as a violation of public freedoms. .
The Al-Hurra correspondent said central Paris witnessed an intense deployment of security and road closures, while the Paris police chief made it clear that he did not give permission for the demonstrations today.
Thousands of journalists participated in the Paris protests, in which the police used tear gas canisters to disperse them.
At the center of the protests that escalated until a political crisis broke out, three articles of the “Comprehensive Security Law” bill, which received the green light from the National Assembly last week, relate to the publication of photos and videos of police officers performing their jobs, and the use of drones and surveillance cameras by security forces.
The coordination group that called meetings saw that “this bill aims to undermine freedom of the press, freedom of information and information, and freedom of expression, that is, ultimately, basic public freedoms in our republic. “.
Article 24, which focuses on attention, stipulates a penalty of one year in prison and a fine of 45,000 euros for anyone who disseminates images of policemen and gendarmes motivated by “bad faith”.
The government claims that this article aims to protect people who are targeted by hate campaigns and calls for murder on social media, while revealing details of their private lives.
