France detains 135 as curfews extended in some cities
France detained 135 people nationwide, while a gathering of about 150 people in Lyon was dispersed with tear gas. A nighttime curfew for unaccompanied children in Lille and surrounding cities was extended until Monday morning.
Authorities in France announced that 135 people had been detained nationwide. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said the number of detainees had reached 135 as of 13:00 local time.
Curfew extended to six cities
A nighttime curfew had previously been introduced in Lille, Denain, Douai and Wattignies. By decision of the prefecture, the measure was extended to Marly and Valenciennes and prolonged until Monday morning.
The restriction prohibits unaccompanied children from being outside between 20:00 and 06:00 in designated areas, including much of central Lille.
Tear gas used in Lyon
A gathering attended by about 150 people was held near Lyon 3 University. The meeting, which lasted about 20 minutes and was attended mostly by young people, was dispersed by police after authorities classified it as an unauthorized march.
Police used tear gas to disperse the crowd. Authorities also banned demonstrations in some areas of Lyon because of the possibility of renewed unrest in the city.
Measures in Grenoble and Paris
Two vehicles collided as people attempted to block the A480 motorway in Grenoble. Two people sustained minor injuries in the crash.
In Paris, police carried out 635 security checks to prevent possible incidents. During the checks, officers seized a knife, an angle grinder, and protective equipment including filtered masks and diving goggles.
Applications to hold demonstrations rejected in some cities
Authorities in Montpellier, Nancy, Caen and Annecy rejected applications to hold demonstrations. In Nice, about 10 people were detained by midday on suspicion of carrying knuckle-dusters and protective equipment.
