Today marks the fifth day of violence and riots in France that began after a minor was shot dead by police. France deployed 45,000 officers with lightly armored vehicles to deal with protesters for a fourth night on Friday. Over a hundred rioters have been arrested last night alone. In this way more than 900 arrests have been made so far. The video of the killing of a teenager named Naheel has angered people to such an extent that the situation is still out of control. Meanwhile, the mother of the deceased teenager has said that her son should get justice.
Don’t let children out of the house: President
President Manuel Macron, expressing concern over the development, has appealed to parents not to let their children leave the house. A total ban on social media has been proposed to stop the riots. Macron said after his emergency meeting that social media platforms like ‘Snapchat’ and ‘TikTok’ played a big role in fueling the riots.
‘Victim’s Mother’s Suffering’
Meanwhile, the statement of the mother of the dead child has come out. Nahel was the child’s name and the mother said, ‘My son was my life’. That was my base. I am very angry with the policeman who killed my only child. My son should get justice. No policeman can take his gun and shoot our children, kill our children’
Violence continued after the arrest of the accused
The country is burning despite the arrest of the accused policeman. People’s anger has not stopped. Protesters set fire to schools, colleges, city halls, town halls, community centers, police stations, malls and shops. A curfew has been imposed in some areas and internet has been banned in some areas. Transport services are closed. Social media is being monitored.
