Paris extends nightly curfew in certain areas until Monday morning after weekend violence

Summary

Curfew has been extended in certain areas of Paris, every night from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., until Monday morning. The measure has been in force since the violence and looting of the weekend, according to an order from the Paris police prefecture published Thursday. A student-organised protest in Paris on Thursday went ahead with hundreds attending, after a police ban on it was overturned by an emergency court injunction. The protest was one of several held by students, who had staged four weeks of protests before the October 17 rallies.
