Protesters gather in Paris despite ban
Demonstrators in Paris have tried to gather in front of the US Embassy, defying restrictions on planned gatherings imposed by authorities in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
They were met by riot police. The embassy was sealed off behind an imposing ring of metal barriers and road blocks, but many protesters gathered nearby.
“You can fine me 10,000 or 20,000 times, the revolt will happen anyway,” Egountchi Behanzin, a founder of the Black African Defense League, told officers who stopped him to check his ID documents before he got close to the diplomatic building, according to the Associated Press news agency.
Protesters gathered across Europe on Saturday, including in cities in Germany and Italy.
