Protest against the Global Security Law and also the celebration of the second anniversary of the Yellow Vest movement took place in Paris on Tuesday (November 17) outside the French Parliament in Assemblée Nationale.

Clashes broke out between police and demonstrators as thousands took to the streets across France to protest at a proposed new law that could make it illegal to publish images of police officers.

The security bill currently being debated by the French parliament would - among other things - make it an offense to publish photos or films of police officers if it was found there was intent on the part on the part of the publisher to harm the physical or mental integrity of the officer.

After a protest outside the Assemblée Nationale, police used water cannons and tear gas to disperse demonstrators, some of whom had set fire to street furniture.
