Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Lyon and other cities in France on Saturday (28 November), against a draft security law.

Its proponents say the security law would only ban images of on-duty police officers that aimed to harm them, but opponents argue it could also ban legitimate scrutiny.

The protests were given added impetus by footage that emerged of French police beating and tear gassing Black music producer Michel Zeclerr on November 21.

Estimates say 133,000 marched nationwide, in cities including Paris, Bordeaux, Rennes, and Lyon.
