Thousands of protesters defied a ban on Saturday to march in central Paris against police violence, a week after riots sparked by the killing of a teenager in a Parisian suburb, AP reported.
Atleast 2,000 people joined a memorial rally in central Paris for a young black man who died in police custody in 2016. Marches took place throughout France to denounce police brutality, as tensions run high after days of rioting engulfed the country.
Nationwide, around 5,900 people took to the streets, according to the interior ministry.
