Freedom March Against The Global Security Ends In Tear Gas

A young woman holds a cardboard reading 'you want to know if France is a free country ? Call PoliSS at 1717'. More than 5000 protesters protested once again against the so-called 'Global Security Law' bill promoted by French President Macron and his majority. The 'Global Security Law' bill will also forbid anyone to photograph or film police members if not flouted : transgressors could be condemned up to one year in jail and a €45.000 fine. The bill also plans to generalize facial recognition in pubic spaces as in China.The French Rights Defender, the French National Commission on Human Rights (administrative bodies) and the UN Human Rights body condemn the bill as it will be a violation of internationals treaties signed and ratified by France, the Universal Human Rights Declaration, rule of law, etc. They fear a chilling effect on people wanting to use their right to protest, right to personal privacy... and on journalists, photographers, videographers. The protest ended by skirmishes between protesters and riot police (CRS), Gendarmerie Mobile (military) and BAC (Anti Crime Unit). Toulouse. France. December 5th 2020.
