Paris police have extended a ban on demonstrations and other gatherings in the region, shutting down plans for a major protest at next week’s UN climate conference.
The French capital’s police department issued a statement on Saturday saying the ban is being extended to 30 November because of “the current context,†including a nationwide state of emergency that’s been extended for three months, AP reports.
The department notes extra security concerns around the arrival of more than 100 heads of state for the U.N. climate conference that starts in a week. The march by environmental groups was scheduled for 29 November, but has been cancelled.
Police are requiring all major concert venues to install special security measures.
Do they think this will stop that fringe element? Can't imagine it. France and Paris are going to be a real mess.
