France Protests Latest News

The death of French teenager Nahel M, killed by a police officer during a traffic stop a week ago, has reignited the anger of young people and brought deeper problems over racism and alleged police brutality in France back to the surface.

France's mayors have called on members of the public and elected officials to gather at town halls across the country on Monday in a show of mass opposition to violent protests that have dragged on for nearly a week.

Amid ongoing violent protests in France, a video of President Emmanuel Macron attending an Elton John concert has sparked anger online.

The protest comes a day ahead of a 10th round of nationwide strikes and street marches and following violence in cities across France over the pension system changes.

Eight Pakistan police officers and special rangers were being held hostage Sunday by supporters of a radical Islamist party, officials said, after days of violent anti-France protests.
