The killing of the 17-year-old by the police, the fifth night of protests in

For 5 days in a row in France, citizens protested after the killing of Nahel, only 17 years old, by police forces, last Tuesday, because he did not obey their order to stop.

During the last evening, 486 people were arrested, while in some cities there were clashes between the police and protesters.

In Marseille, incidents were reported in different parts of the city. Videos show police using tear gas and officials say at least 56 arrests have been made in the southern city.

But a heavy police presence in central Paris appears to have thwarted the protests.

In Paris, there were especially tensions in the Champs Elysees area. About 45,000 police were deployed across the country on Saturday.

The ministry said that by 03:30 local time (01:30 GMT) there had been 486 arrests. More than 1,300 arrests were made on Friday night and more than 900 on Thursday.

The protest seems to have also infected Switzerland as incidents have been reported in the center of Lausanne.

The French Interior Minister, Gérald Darmanin, said: "It is a quieter night thanks to the decisive action of the police." " The average age of the protesters is 17 years old, " explained Interior Minister Darmanin.

They are high school students, young and without criminal records.

While Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, who was in Paris, said: "I have come to reaffirm my full support for the police and the government."

Why are there riots in France?

On June 27, 2023, a 17-year-old of Algerian and Moroccan origin was shot by a police officer in the Nanter district, a suburb of Paris. 

The video published on social networks caused outrage in the suburbs of Paris where racism is more pronounced. The video shows two policemen who stopped the car of 17-year-old Nahel, M. and a voice is heard "I'm going to shoot a bullet in the head".

After the shot, the car drives a few meters and then crashes. The teenager died as a result of chest wounds. A policeman has been arrested for the murder.
