High school blockades: unauthorized demonstration, tensions and intervention by law enforcement

Description : An unauthorized demonstration by high school students set off from Paris’s 12th arrondissement toward Place de la Nation. The procession caused tensions on the tram tracks, requiring law enforcement to intervene and remove the participants. After passing in front of Hélène Boucher High School, the demonstrators reached Place de la Nation, where a large trash-can fire was started and fireworks mortar rounds were fired at police. Firefighters intervened to put out the blaze, while law enforcement carried out charges and used tear gas grenades to disperse the gathering.
