"France's Social Tensions Ignite: Over 1,300 Arrested in Violent Protests Following Teen's Killing by Police"
Rioting continues for a fourth night in cities across France, with over 1,300 arrests made, as protests over the killing of a 17-year-old by police intensify. Despite a massive police deployment, clashes between protesters and law enforcement persist, resulting in fires, looting, and vandalism. The funeral for the teenager, identified as Nahel, took place on Saturday. The violence, fueled by long-standing tensions between police and marginalized communities, has spread nationwide and poses a challenge for President Emmanuel Macron. The government has implemented stricter security measures, but the unrest continues, with demands for accountability and an end to racial discrimination in policing.
