Situation Remains Tense in Paris
Several hundred young people, some with faces masked and heads covered (wearing helmets?), gathered Sunday afternoon at the Place de la Nation, in Paris. The demonstrators protested racism and anti-semitism, shouting "Fofana, bastard, the Jews will have your skin!", "Hang Fofana!" and "Revenge for Ilan". T

Some troublemakers along the edge of the march, at which several tens of thousands of people marched calmly between the Place de la Republic and the Place de la Nation, tried to manhandle a young man from northern Africa. Dozens of plainclothes policemen, armed with batons, immediately intervened to protect the young man. Helmeted CRS and members of the anti-riot police were positioned in the Place de la Nation where the situation continued to be tense on Sunday evening.
My translation - any corrections by better French speakers / readers would be welcome as I'm doing this without a grammar or dictionary to hand.
