Thousands of people marched in Paris and other French cities on Sunday against a proposed law on the legitimate use of force that critics say would be a “licence to kill” for police and gendarmes.
In July, deputies in the National Assembly approved the bill which says that any police official who uses force is assumed to have acted legally when using their weapon. It now faces a vote in the Senate.
Politicians, rights groups and other activists joined the Paris demonstration, among them Mathilde Panot of the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) party.
“The police kill already,” Panot told the crowd, calling for the bill to be voted down in the Senate.
